"web_accessible_resources": [

Description

Sometimes you want to package resources—for example, images, HTML, CSS, or JavaScript—with your extension and make them available to web pages.

For example, the Beastify example extension replaces a web page with an image of a beast selected by the user. The beast images are packaged with the extension. To make the selected image visible, the extension adds <img> elements whose src attribute points to the beast's image. For the web page to be able to load the images, they must be made web accessible.

With the web_accessible_resources key, you list all the packaged resources that you want to make available to web pages. You specify them as paths relative to the manifest.json file.

Note that content scripts don't need to be listed as web accessible resources.

If an extension wants to use webRequest to redirect a public URL (e.g., HTTPS) to a page that's packaged in the extension, then the extension must list the page in the web_accessible_resources key.

Using web_accessible_resources

For example, suppose your extension includes an image file at images/my-image.png, like this:

my-extension-files/
    manifest.json
    my-background-script.js
    images/
        my-image.png

To enable a web page to use an <img> element whose src attribute points to this image, you would specify web_accessible_resources like this:

"web_accessible_resources": ["images/my-image.png"]

The file is then available using a URL like:

moz-extension://<extension-UUID>/images/my-image.png"

<extension-UUID> is not your extension's ID. This ID is randomly generated for every browser instance. This prevents websites from fingerprinting a browser by examining the extensions it has installed.

In Chrome, an extension's ID is fixed. When a resource is listed in web_accessible_resources, it is accessible as chrome-extension://<your-extension-id>/<path/to/resource>.  

The recommended approach to obtaining the URL of the resource is to use runtime.getURL passing the path relative to manifest.json, for example:

browser.runtime.getURL("images/my-image.png");
// something like:
// moz-extension://944cfddf-7a95-3c47-bd9a-663b3ce8d699/images/my-image.png

This approach gives you the correct URL regardless of the browser your extension is running on.

Wildcards

web_accessible_resources entries can contain wildcards. For example, the following entry would also work to include the resource at "images/my-image.png":

  "web_accessible_resources": ["images/*.png"]

Security

Note that if you make a page web-accessible, any website may link or redirect to that page. The page should then treat any input (POST data, for examples) as if it came from an untrusted source, just as a normal web page should.

Example

"web_accessible_resources": ["images/my-image.png"]

Make the file at "images/my-image.png" web accessible.
