[tushar1998]

🛠 Issue Type

• Bug Report

🔍 Steps to Reproduce (For Bugs)

• Click on launcher icon, popup opens
• Click on Floating Mode - opens popup in windowed mode
• Click on extension launcher - Launches non-windowed mode with windowed mode 2 instances
• Click on floating window on 2nd instance - launches 2nd windowed mode instance

✅ Expected Behavior

• It should not launch multiple instances

🚨 Actual Behavior

• Opens multiple UI instances in windowed Mode

💻 Environment
OS: macOS Sequioa
Browser: Version 1.74.51 Chromium: 132.0.6834.160 (Official Build) (arm64)

📝 Additional Context

• Tried to fix the issue but it seems plasmo is limiting to fix it. There should be a way to extend browser action onClick listener functionality so I can check windowed mode instance and focus on the existing instance instead opening the popup again

Thanks for reporting this, I'll look into it. Unfortunately this will be really hard to enforce without adding the intrusive permission which lets the extension potentially read all tab data + browsing history. There should be a workaround though and if I can find a reliable one then I'll definitely add this behavior in.
