Bug

What is the current behavior?

Getting error while linting if the manifest_version is set to 3:
"manifest_version": 3,
Error:

Code           Message       Description            File   Line   Column
JSON_INVALID   "/manifest…   Your JSON file could

What is the expected or desired behavior?

Duplicate of #2379.

In short, use the --firefox-preview flag, which is also documented at https://extensionworkshop.com/documentation/develop/manifest-v3-migration-guide/#turn-on-the-developer-preview

Actually, the other one is about running, while this one is about the linter.

@Rob--W Can we reopen this please?
I'm not using firefox, I'm using chromium.

[Rob--W]

I have already re-opened this issue :)

not only linting, I'm unable to run my extension with firefox.
it says:
"invalid extension"
I've verified whole manifest, everything is fine.

I'm using Firefox developer edition with MV3 flags enabled

@akash07k What version of Firefox are you using?
Could you share your manifest.json file?

Hit the linting issue as well - --firefox-preview only seems to be applicable to web-ext run so far, but it's making it difficult to maintain an extension across Firefox and Chrome.
