VistasHow to manipulate webRequest cookie in a cross-browser extension?
I am trying to edit cookie for all API calls using webRequest from a cross-browser (supporting chrome and Firefox) extension which I am creating.
Following is the code:
chrome.webRequest.onBeforeSendHeaders.addListener(
data => { /* cookie manipulation logic */ },
{ urls: ['https://*/*'] },
['blocking', 'requestHeaders', 'extraHeaders']
);
Problem: In Chrome, the code works with extraHeaders and in Firefox the same code works only if extraHeaders is removed. How can I make it work on both browsers?
Following is the browser doc reference for Chrome and Firefox.
Chrome:
Chrome documentation states that extraHeaders is needed if we want to manipulate cookie. Reference picture below. Reference link: Link
Firefox:
Firefox documentation doesn't tell to use any extra spec to manipulate cookie. Instead it gives error when extraHeaders is present in the third argument of addListener.

The API exposes all predefined constants in chrome.webRequest.OnXXXXXXXXX objects for each event so only in new Chrome such objects will have EXTRA_HEADERS key with extraHeaders value whereas in Firefox and old Chrome it'll be undefined, which can be filtered out via filter():
chrome.webRequest.onBeforeSendHeaders.addListener(
listenerFunc,
{ urls: ['*://*/*'] },
['blocking', 'requestHeaders',
chrome.webRequest.OnBeforeSendHeadersOptions.EXTRA_HEADERS].filter(Boolean)
);
