Description
Describe the bug
The following code worked perfectly in versions 0.19.x:
export default defineBackground(() => {
browser.webRequest.onBeforeSendHeaders.addListener(
details => {
console.log(details.originUrl);
}, {
urls: ["<all_urls>"],
}
);
});
In versions 0.20.x, it fails to build, because the originUrl field was omitted in the new WebRequest types.
This field exists only in Firefox according to MDN
