version

"version": "0.1"

Version of the extension, formatted as numbers and ASCII characters separated by dots. For the details of the version format, see the Version format page.

Note that the syntax defined for Chrome's version is more restrictive than that used by Firefox:

• values for version that are valid for Chrome will always be valid for Firefox
• values for version that are valid for Firefox may not be valid for Chrome

See the maintenance policy for special rules for that mark a version as "beta" in the AMO queues.

To obtain your extension version in your JavaScript code, use:

console.log(browser.runtime.getManifest().version);

Example

If the manifest contains:

"version": "0.1"

To obtain your extension version in your JavaScript code, use:

console.log(browser.runtime.getManifest().version);
// expected output: "0.1"
