You can use my library https://github.com/lawlietmester/webextension to make this work in both Chrome and FF with Firefox way without callbacks.

Your code will look like:

Browser.runtime.onMessage.addListener( request => new Promise( resolve => {
    if( !request || typeof request !== 'object' || request.type !== "getUrls" ) return;

    $.ajax({
        'url': "http://localhost:3000/urls",
        'method': 'GET'
    }).then( urls => { resolve({ urls }); });
}) );
