I'm trying to get access to the browser.tabs using an extension. My manifest.json currently includes these permissions:

"permissions": [
  "<all_urls>",
  "activeTab",
  "tabs",
  "storage"
]

When I try to access browser.tabs I still get undefined.

I'm running Firefox 66.0.1 (64 bit) on the latest elementary os 0.5 - Juno.

Maybe someone could point me in the right direction.

Cheers Peter

The issue was due to the scope: I've attempted to access the tabs in the content script, while you can't access tabs from the content of the page (makes sense as you don't want to expose information about other sites). In the background script it works fine, as it runs on browser level.
