How to ask for `*://*/*` as optional_permissions addon

Question

I need to ask for *://*/* permission, but I don't know how to do this, because with .permissions.require() doesn't work.

Steps I followed:

• Insert *://*/* as "optional_permissions" in the manifest

• Use this code to try to ask for permission

  const permissionsToRequest = {
                  permissions: ["*://*/*"]
              }
  
              async function onResponse(response) {
                  if (response) {
                      //Granted
                      console.log("Granted");
                  } else {
                      //Refused
                      console.log("Refused");
                  }
                  return browser.permissions.getAll();
              }
  
              console.log("Yes");
              browser.permissions.request(permissionsToRequest).then(onResponse);

I tried to use also “origins” but nothing… doesn’t work anyway

Answer 1

The problem was the "permissions". As a user suggested, the answer is to use "origins" instead
