WebExtension "options_ui" Andriod

Add-ons Development
#1

The MDN documentation doesn’t say anything about Android compatibility, in my experience (current sable to aurora) it doesn’t work. So:

  1. Will it soon/ever?
  2. How can I best provide an options page in the meantime (bookmark/tile/…)?
  3. How can I reliably tell whether I’m on an Android device (UserAgent won’t do)?

Webextensions are supposed to work on Android. Not all features though will work there, at least not yet. The only way to figure out for sure is to search the bug on bugzilla, if they don’t mention android in the relevant bug topic, you can ask and they should give you a quick reply.
