Hello, i'm trying to develop an Add-on for firefox that permit to write on the textarea but i'm having some problems triggering the Click event on contextMenus option.

I'm using the standard format to understand how it works: Create element in contextMenus browser.contextMenus.create({ 

   id: "copy-link-to-clipboard",
   title: "Copy link to clipboard",
   contexts: ["all"],

});

Clicked event browser.contextMenus.onClicked.addListener((info, tab) => { 

   if (info.menuItemId === "copy-link-to-clipboard") {
       console.log("test-1");
       let elem = browser.menus.getTargetElement(targetElementId);

let test = "test-2"; elem.textContent = test; 

   }

});

This code doesn't work because i haven't an output in console, somebody can help me to understand where i wrong?

I tried this other code but it doesn't work too

browser.menus.create({ 

 id: "click-me",
 title: "Click me!",
 contexts: ["all"]

});

browser.menus.onClicked.addListener((info, tab) => { 

 console.log("test");

});
