Details

(Whiteboard: [addons-jira][wecg])

Chrome extensions can already specify type: "module" in the background declaration along with their background Service worker: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/mv3/service_workers/#manifest

Once worker modules (bug 1247687) are supported (a prerequisite to supporting module service workers (bug 1360870)), we should look into supporting modules for extension service workers.

(and if we figure out the desired behavior of extension APIs in a module context, then it may also be feasible to support modules in content scripts - bug 1451545)
