Description
Firefox version: 116.0.3 Ubuntu 22.04
the standard borderify addon is not working.
Reproduce steps:
- git clone borderify code
- in Firefox, select menu "Add-ons and Themes" >> "Debug Add-ons" >>
"Load Temporary Add-on...",
then select the borderify manifest.json, - after install the addon, no any mozilla.org page is borderified.
e.g: a page with url: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/ - further more, when refresh the tab https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/,
in debug console, it will show a log "undefined: undefined",
I am certain that if no install the borderify addon, this log will not be printed.
however, no sure if this should be reported to Firefox or not. Thanks!

Research direction
Start by cloning the standard borderify example and loading its manifest.json through Firefox's Debug Add-ons > Load Temporary Add-on flow described in the issue. Reproduce the missing border and the "undefined: undefined" debug-console message on mozilla.org, then determine whether the problem belongs in the example or Firefox. Done means the cause is identified and the example works as described, or the issue is redirected with supporting evidence.
