'sendMessage not received by options page onMessage in Safari
I have ported a Chrome/FireFox extension. One of the things that does not work is receiving message from background to a options page (safari-web-extension:///page.html)
I dont get a error message or any details back from the promise. Any idea where this goes wrong?
Background:
browser.tabs.sendMessage(tab.id, { message });
Options page:
browser.runtime.onMessage.addListener(message => {
console.log(message);
});

Much better to use the long lived connections ports

It looks like safari-web-extension pages receive background script messages but they don't seem to receive messages that are sent via chrome.tabs.sendMessage.
