browserAction.onClicked
Fired when a browser action icon is clicked. This event will not fire if the browser action has a popup.
To define a right-click action, use the contextMenus
API with the "browser_action" context type.

for a left-click or a click not associated with a mouse, such as one from the keyboard and1

When the user clicks the icon, disable it for the active tab, and log the tab's URL:
browser.browserAction.onClicked.addListener((tab) => { // disable the active tab browser.browserAction.disable(tab.id); // requires the "tabs" or "activeTab" permission, or host permissions for the URL console.log(tab.url); });
