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.
You can inspect the add-ons linter code to see how extension versions for Firefox are validated.
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
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"
