# page-to-extension-messaging
## What it does
This extension includes a content script, which is injected only into: "https://mdn.github.io/webextensions-examples/content-script-page-script-messaging.html".
The content script listens for clicks on a particular button on the page. When the button is clicked, the content script sends a message to any scripts running in the page.
Conversely, the content script listens for messages from the same window posted using window.postMessage. When the content script receives such a message, it displays an alert.
To test it out, visit https://mdn.github.io/webextensions-examples/content-script-page-script-messaging.html and press the buttons. One button sends a message from the page script to the content script, the other button sends a message in the other direction.
## What it shows
How to exchange messages between an extension's content scripts, and scripts running in a web page.

# user-agent-rewriter
## What it does
This extension uses the webRequest API to rewrite the browser's User Agent header, but only when visiting pages under "http://useragentstring.com/".
It adds a browser action. The browser action has a popup that lets the user choose one of three browsers: Firefox 41, Chrome 41, and IE 11. When the user chooses a browser, the extension then rewrites the User Agent header so the real browser identifies itself as the chosen browser on the site http://useragentstring.com/.
## What it shows
* how to intercept and modify HTTP requests
* how to write a browser action with a popup
* how to give the popup style and behavior using CSS and JS
* how to send a message from a popup script to a background script
