Uninstall the add-on whose ID is "my-addon-id", 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.
let id = "my-addon-id"; function onCanceled(error) { console.log(`Uninstall canceled: ${error}`); } let uninstalling = browser.management.uninstall(id); uninstalling.then(null, onCanceled);
