The bookmarks.remove() method removes a single bookmark or an empty bookmark folder.
Warning: If your extension attempts to remove a bookmark from 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 removed.
This is an asynchronous function that returns a Promise.
let removingBookmark = browser.bookmarks.remove(
id // string
)
id
A string specifying the ID of the bookmark or empty folder to remove.
A Promise that will be fulfilled with no arguments.
If the node corresponding to the id parameter can't be found or was a non-empty folder, the promise is rejected with an error message.
function onRemoved() {
console.log("Removed!");
}
function onRejected(error) {
console.log(`An error: ${error}`);
}
let bookmarkId = "abcdefghijkl";
let removingBookmark = browser.bookmarks.remove(bookmarkId);
removingBookmark.then(onRemoved, onRejected);
