bookmarks.update()
bookmarks.update()
updates the title and/or URL of a bookmark, or the name of a bookmark folder.
Warning: If your extension attempts to update a bookmark in the bookmarks tree root node, the call will raise an error with the message: "The bookmark root cannot be modified" and the bookmark won't be updated.
This is an asynchronous function that returns a Promise
.
Syntax
let updating = browser.bookmarks.update(
id, // string
changes // object
)
Parameters
Return value
A Promise
that will be fulfilled with a single bookmarks.BookmarkTreeNode
object, representing the updated bookmark. If the bookmark item corresponding to the id
parameter can't be found, the promise is rejected.
Examples
This example renames all folders named "MDN" to "Mozilla Developer Network (MDN)".
function onFulfilled(bookmarkItem) {
console.log(bookmarkItem.title);
}
function onRejected(error) {
console.error(`Error: ${error}`);
}
function updateFolders(items) {
for (const item of items) {
// only folders, so skip items with a `url`
if (!item.url) {
browser.bookmarks
.update(item.id, {
title: "Mozilla Developer Network (MDN)",
})
.then(onFulfilled, onRejected);
}
}
}
browser.bookmarks.search({ title: "MDN" }).then(updateFolders, onRejected);
