Uninstalls the calling add-on.
This API does not require the "management" API permission.
This is an asynchronous function that returns a Promise
.
var uninstallingSelf = browser.management.uninstallSelf( options // object )
BCD tables only load in the browser
optionsOptional
object
. Object which may two properties, both optional:showConfirmDialogOptional
showConfirmDialog
is true
, the browser will show a dialog asking the user to confirm that the add-on should be uninstalled. Defaults to false
.dialogMessageOptional
A Promise
that will be rejected with an error message if the user canceled uninstall.
Uninstall the add-on, asking the user to confirm. In the callback, check whether the user canceled uninstallation.
Note that we haven't passed a fulfillment handler because if uninstallation succeeds, the add-on is no longer around to handle it.
function onCanceled(error) { console.log(`Canceled: ${error}`); } var uninstalling = browser.management.uninstallSelf({ showConfirmDialog: true }); uninstalling.then(null, onCanceled);
The same, but also adding a custom message to the dialog:
function onCanceled(error) { console.log(`Canceled: ${error}`); } var uninstalling = browser.management.uninstallSelf({ showConfirmDialog: true, dialogMessage: "Testing self-uninstall" }); uninstalling.then(null, onCanceled);
