Fired when the browser has started importing a set of bookmarks.
While a set of bookmarks is being imported, onCreated may fire a lot of times. If your extension is listening to onCreated, and the listener is expensive, you should also listen for onImportBegan and onImportEnded. When you receive onImportBegan, ignore onCreated until you receive onImportEnded. You can handle all other notifications as usual.
browser.bookmarks.onImportBegan.addListener(listener)
browser.bookmarks.onImportBegan.removeListener(listener)
browser.bookmarks.onImportBegan.hasListener(listener)
Events have three functions:
addListener(callback)
Adds a listener to this event.
removeListener(listener)
Stop listening to this event. The listener argument is the listener to remove.
hasListener(listener)
Check whether listener is registered for this event. Returns true if it is listening, false otherwise.
callback
Function that will be called when this event occurs. It's passed no parameters.
