问题
I have an extension, functional on Chrome, that monitors the active Tab for URL changes.
Specifically, I need to detect when the URL changes, but there is no new page load or navigation. Some sites do this (e.g. when you click to view another video on YouTube).
On Chrome, I accomplished this with:
chrome.tabs.onUpdated.addListener(function(tabId, changeInfo, tab) {
if (changeInfo && changeInfo.status == "complete") {
//do stuff here
}
});
How do I detect such changes in a Firefox add-on?
I've been told to use: Listening to events on all tabs, but I couldn't put it together. One of the problems was that gBrowser
was not defined in the extension.
What am I doing wrong?
Is there a simpler way?

Use ProgressListener to be notified about location changes.
To install a listener, convert SDK tab to its raw (old) representation using viewFor. Backward conversion is possible with modelFor and getTabForContentWindow.
const tabs = require("sdk/tabs");
const {viewFor} = require('sdk/view/core');
const {modelFor} = require('sdk/model/core');
const {getBrowserForTab, getTabForContentWindow} = require("sdk/tabs/utils");
const {Ci, Cu} = require("chrome");
Cu.import("resource://gre/modules/XPCOMUtils.jsm", this);
var progressListener = {
QueryInterface: XPCOMUtils.generateQI([Ci.nsIWebProgressListener, Ci.nsISupportsWeakReference]),
onLocationChange: function(aProgress, aRequest, aURI) {
var highLevel= modelFor(getTabForContentWindow(aProgress.DOMWindow));
console.log("onLocationChange ", highLevel.url);
}
};
tabs.on('open', function(newTab) {
var lowLevel = viewFor(newTab);
var browser = getBrowserForTab(lowLevel);
browser.addProgressListener(progressListener);
});
Don't forget to remove listeners on extension unload. Tab listeners are removed automagically, but ProgressListeners won't be.

If you're using the add-on SDK, you're looking at the wrong docs. Here are the tab docs.
As stated there, you create a listener like so:
var tabs = require("sdk/tabs");
// Listen for tab openings.
tabs.on('open', function onOpen(tab) {
myOpenTabs.push(tab);
});
// Listen for tab content loads.
tabs.on('ready', function(tab) {
console.log('tab is loaded', tab.title, tab.url);
});
All the docs you look at should be a subset of developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/SDK.

I find that the activate
and pageshow
events, between the two of them, cover all changes in URL that I can conjure up between switching tabs, opening pages in a new tab, closing tabs, refreshing pages, and typing in new URL's.
var updateURL = function (tab) {
var oldURL = url;
var url = tab.url;
console.log(url);
};
tabs.on("activate", updateURL);
tabs.on("pageshow", updateURL);
