Thanks for filing the issue... As per comment #0, it seems to be a feature request. Hence, marking it as untriaged for further inputs from Dev team. Thanks...!

We already have a bug for allowing programmatically opening extension bubbles (issue 436489), but there are some interesting security UX issues that need to be resolved before we can do that. However, there are plenty of other options here: using a notification - or, if you wanted to be heavier-handed, an alert - will both display information to the user and are triggerable programmatically at a set time. Given there's a tracking bug for opening the popup itself, and given there are reasonable alternatives, I'm going to close this out, but let me know if there's a reason this doesn't cover the use case. |
