A mix of MV2 and MV3 is confusing, we should improve the documentation on MDN. This PR converts an example to MV3, but does not include browser_specific_settings.gecko.id. While Firefox does not require that, the extension store at addons.mozilla.org does require it. I haven't decided whether we should include it in all examples (at the risk of the user trying to submit it to AMO in unmodified form) or to exclude it (at the risk of the user getting stuck at the last minute, when trying to upload to AMO). Another consideration is that Chrome currently warns when browser_specific_settings is present. This will be fixed in Chrome 131, to not warn any more. |

Superceeded by MDN get started tutorial examples to manifest V3 #608 |
Description
I changed the "beastify" extension to
Motivation
The changes demonstrate Mozilla extensions running with manifest version 3.
Additional details
Unfortunately the change run very well with Chrome and CCleaner browsers, but does not run well with Firefox browser. On Firefox browser, content JS does not load. Pop-up and website page Debuggers does not provide any further information except a console message of "undefined: undefined" on the pop-up debugger. I have raised a bug "https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1884298" (Bug ID: 1884298) with Mozilla.
Nevertheless, the changes can still be helpful for developers writing compatible extensions with manifest version 3
