identity.getRedirectURL()
Generates a URL that you can use as a redirect URL.
The URL is derived from your extension's ID, so if you use this function you should probably set your extension's ID explicitly using the browser_specific_settings
key (otherwise, each time you temporarily install the extension, you'll get a different redirect URL).
See Getting a redirect URL for more information on redirect URLs.
