Does the synchronization work on a zip file loaded from Add-ons -> Tools for all add-ons -> Install add-on from file...?

I do a basic browser.local.sync sync test:

``` let monster = { name: "Kraken", tentacles: true, eyeCount: 10, };

let kitten = { name: "Moggy", tentacles: false, eyeCount: 2, };

browser.storage.sync.set({ kitten, monster });

```

and on the second profile:

``` await browser.storage.local.get("kitten");

```

but nothing happens, get("kitten") returns nothing.

QUESTIONS:

  1. Does the synchronization work on a zip file loaded from Add-ons -\> Tools for all add-ons -\> Install add-on from file...? I have in manifest.json applications.gecko.id, as needed.
  2. If not, what do I need to do to TEST the synchronization work?

Funcions `loadOneTab` and `loadURI` in 2023 in Firefox Experimental API?

I am using the Experimental API in my private Firefox extension.

So far, I've been using Firefox 102 ESR, but I'm planning to switch to Firefox ESR 115. There's already a Firefox 115 Beta available, so I've started testing it with my private extension.

So far, I've been using internal Firefox functions like loadOneTab and loadURI and it worked very well.

I used the loadOneTab function like this:

``` const placesURL = "chrome://browser/content/places/places.xhtml"; window.gBrowser.loadOneTab( placesURL, { inBackground: false, allowThirdPartyFixup : true, relatedToCurrent : true, triggeringPrincipal : services.scriptSecurityManager.getSystemPrincipal() } );

```

But the loadOneTab function no longer exists at all in Firefox's internal API. What should I replace it with?

I found the function _createTab:

``` // window.gBrowser._createTab({ uriString: placesURL });

```

But the _createTab function returns an error:

``` Uncaught Error: UserInteraction with id "browser.tabs.opening" was not initialized

```

...I guess this is by security to make this function called only by user action? And I call this function inside async function.

Is it somehow possible to open a new tab from the Experimental API in Firefox 115 beta? I need this very badly. Really very much.

---

I used the loadURI function like this:

``` window.gBrowser.selectedBrowser.loadURI(linkGo, {triggeringPrincipal: Services.scriptSecurityManager.getSystemPrincipal()});

```

The loadURI function appears to still be available in Firefox's internal API, but returns an error like this:

``` TypeError: 'uri' member of CancelContentJSOptions is not an object. RemoteWebNavigation.sys.mjs:28:41

```

How to overcome this error?
