Examples
Disable the browser action when clicked, and re-enable it every time a new tab is opened:
js
browser.tabs.onCreated.addListener(() => {
browser.browserAction.enable();
});
browser.browserAction.onClicked.addListener(() => {
browser.browserAction.disable();
});
Disable the browser action only for the active tab:
js
browser.browserAction.onClicked.addListener((tab) => {
browser.browserAction.disable(tab.id);
});
