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,
changes
)
Parameters
-
id
-
A string
specifying the ID of the bookmark or bookmark folder to update.
-
changes
-
An object
specifying the changes to apply, with some combination of the following fields. Any items not specified aren't changed in the referenced bookmark or folder:
title
Optional
-
A string
containing the new title of the bookmark, or the new name of the folder if id
refers to a folder.
url
Optional
-
A string
providing a new URL for the bookmark.
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) {
if (!item.url) {
browser.bookmarks
.update(item.id, {
title: "Mozilla Developer Network (MDN)",
})
.then(onFulfilled, onRejected);
}
}
}
browser.bookmarks.search({ title: "MDN" }).then(updateFolders, onRejected);
