Message communication between chrome and frame script

[Rajendra Sharma]

Hi Experts ,

I have a message listener in frame script loaded in content process.
frame script is injected in tab process using window.messageManager.
when I send message from chrome to content using
"window.messageManager.broadcastAsyncMessage" message is received in frame
script but when I send message from chrome to content using
"gBrowser.selectedBrowser.messageManager.sendAsyncMessage" message is not
received.

Is there any limitation that message listener in content will receive
messages from message manager who injected the frame script in content
process ?

Is there something I am doing wrong here ?

Hi Rajendra,

If I get right what you are trying to do, from chrome side you should get
the selected tab and then tab.linkedBrowser.messageManager.sendAsyncMessage.

This should work. I think you'll need to provide more context to diagnose
the problem. Can you generate a reduced test case that shows the problem?
