You will need to register a listener for the onStartup event in your background script with chrome.runtime.onStartup.addListener(callback)

In your manifest file make sure you have a entry specifying which script file to run in your background page, and whether it should be persistent or not.
"background": { "scripts": ["js/event.js"], "persistent": false },

Chrome extensions have a background js file, which is run, when the browser starts.
