window.onpopstate and window.onhashchange don't seem to be working in content script

[quaz...@gmail.com]

hello,

window.onpopstate and window.onhashchange don't seem to be working in content script

my permissions are:
"permissions": [
"tabs",
"notifications",
"storage",
"webNavigation",
"webRequest",
"webRequestBlocking"
],

Are they blocked or is there an alternative?

Thanks in advance.

If you need to subscribe a callback from the content script,
have you already tried to register an event listener to the popstate and hashchange events using window.addEventListener (instead of using the onpopstate/onhashchange window properties)?

If you don't need a callback registered from a content script, the webNavigation API has specific events that can be used from the background page:

- webNavigation.onHistoryStateUpdated (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/WebNavigation/onHistoryStateUpdated)
- webNavigation.onReferenceFragmentUpdated (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/WebNavigation/onReferenceFragmentUpdated)

Yes, eventlisteners were tried with no response.

I tried your suggested links and got this:
chrome.webNavigation is undefined

same error for browser.webNavigation...
