Not working on Firefox : runtime is not defined

Environment:

• OS: Ubuntu
• Browser: Firefox 91.0.2
• Library Version: 1.1.8

Description:
I was using webpack 4 and the webpack-extension-reloader package and it was working well on Firefox. I decided to migrate to webpack 5 and to use this library instead of webpack-extension-reloader, but this library is not working on Firefox. The following error is reported by the browser console (Ctrl+Maj+J):

TypeError: runtime is undefined inject.js:1320:18

Thanks for your support.

Thanks for reporting this. We'll have to take a closer look at this, but can definitely verify this is happening on our end.

Hey, apologize for the radio silence here. We are looking to push out a new update with all of these fixes. Would you have an example of where you are getting these issues?

It seems like we are no longer getting these errors in our workflows as of Firefox 94.0.1.

Hello, I can confirm that I still face the same issue in Firefox 94.0.1 with my extension (https://github.com/lmichelin/open-github-links-in-ide)

Steps to reproduce the issue:

• Clone the repository https://github.com/lmichelin/open-github-links-in-ide
• Run yarn to install the dependencies
• Run yarn dev to start the development server
• Launch Firefox
• Open about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox
• Click on Load Temporary Add-on
• Select the dist/firefox/manifest.json file
• Open the browser console (Ctrl+Maj+J)
• Open add tests lmichelin/open-github-links-in-ide#5
• The following error is logged in the browser console TypeError: runtime is undefined inject.js:1320:18
• The extension is not working (No IDE icons are injected when hovering on file numbers in comments)

Thanks for your support.
