It looks like you're trying to load it from background (main). Main in Firefox does not have a window object - which is why you're getting the error. It's a perfectly fine way of doing things in Chrome, as background in Chrome is also a page and has a window element, in Firefox though there's no window in the background.

If you want to use js code that needs a window in Main, you'll have to follow one these routes:

  • edit the code not to need window element
  • OR use page-worker to utilize it.
