page_action replaces bookmark star with "…" in Firefox-based browsers #1034

Description

@sporteka2

When TWP is enabled in Firefox or Floorp, the bookmark star (★) in the URL bar is replaced by an ellipsis (…). The bookmark star is hidden inside the page actions overflow menu.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Install TWP in Firefox or Floorp
  2. Open any webpage
  3. Look at the URL bar — the bookmark star (★) is replaced by

Root cause:
TWP declares page_action in manifest.json:

"page_action": {
    "browser_style": false,
    "default_icon": "/icons/icon-32.png",
    "default_title": "__MSG_pageActionTitle__"
}

In Firefox-based browsers, when any extension has a page_action, the bookmark star is hidden behind the overflow menu. This is expected Firefox behavior — but TWP's page_action serves no visible purpose (no popup, no icon shown by default).

Suggested fix:
Remove the page_action from the manifest. TWP already has browser_action which handles the same functionality. If page_action is needed for some reason, make it optional via a setting.

Environment:

  • TWP 10.1.1.1
  • Floorp 151.0.4 / Firefox 140.0
  • Linux Mint 22.3
