history.onVisited
. However, the history.HistoryItem
that this event passes to its listener does not include the page title, because the page title is typically not known at the time history.onVisited
is sent. Instead, the stored history.HistoryItem
is updated with the page title after the page has loaded, once the title is known. The history.onTitleChanged event is fired at that time. So if you need to know the titles of pages as they are visited, listen for history.onTitleChanged
.browser.history.onTitleChanged.addListener(listener) browser.history.onTitleChanged.removeListener(listener) browser.history.onTitleChanged.hasListener(listener)
