copied!<p>I haven't tested it myself (due to lack of time), but I believe that the problem is this:</p> <p><strong>The problem</strong><br> You are creating the tabs from <code>popup.js</code>. As soon as a new tab receives focus, the popup (<code>popup.html</code>) is closed/hidden and any JavaScript execution stops. This means that there will be so many tabs opened as many <code>popup.js</code> managed to create <strong>before</strong> the first tab received focus. So, sometimes it will be all, sometimes some etc.</p> <p><strong>The solution</strong><br> The solution is to mive the "tab-creating" code in the background page (or better yet event page). E.g.:</p> <pre><code>// ...in popup.js ... chrome.runtime.getBackgroundPage(function(bgPage) { bgPage.openAllURLsInTabs(); }); ... </code></pre> <p>(Of course, there are many approaches possible, e.g. message-passing etc.)</p> <p><strong>The demo</strong><br> For demonstration purposes, I have put together a tiny extension that opens your 22 URLs is new tabs. For simplicity, it does not feature a popup, just a browser-action.<br> The file structure is like this:</p> <pre><code>TestCX |__background.js |__jquery-1.7.2_min.js |__manifest.json </code></pre> <p><em><strong>background.js:</em></strong></p> <pre><code>var urlList = [ "http://stackoverflow.com/", "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page", "http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/", "http://nodejs.org/", "https://github.com/", "http://wallbase.cc/", "http://www.chromium.org/Home", "http://www.photoshoptuto.com/?s=test+chrome+tabs", "http://www.youtube.com/", "https://www.tumblr.com/", "http://www.imdb.com/", "http://www.flickr.com/", "http://kickass.to/", "https://www.dropbox.com/", "http://fr.slideshare.net/", "http://www.deviantart.com/", "http://www.livejournal.com/", "http://ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com/82624099.html", "http://www.etsy.com/", "http://www.mediafire.com/", "http://www.foxnews.com/", "http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/10/21/obama-addresses-problems-with-health-care-website/" ]; chrome.browserAction.onClicked.addListener(function() { $.each(urlList, function(key, val) { chrome.tabs.create({ url: val }, function(tab) { console.log("Opened: " + tab.url); }); }); }); </code></pre> <p><em><strong>manifest.json:</em></strong></p> <pre><code>{ "manifest_version": 2, "name": "Paste All URLs", "version": "2.5", "browser_action": { "default_title": "Paste many URLs" }, "background": { "scripts": [ "jquery-1.7.2_min.js", "background.js" ] }, "permissions": [ "tabs" ] } </code></pre> <hr> <p>I hope this helps you solve your problem. If not come back for more :)</p>
