Removes a contextual identity, given its cookie store ID.
This is an asynchronous function that returns a Promise
.
Syntax
var removeContext = browser.contextualIdentities.remove( cookieStoreId // string )
Parameters
cookieStoreId
-
string
. The ID of the contextual identity's cookie store. Because contextual identities each have their own cookie store, this serves as an identifier for the contextual identity itself.
Return value
A Promise
that will be fulfilled with a ContextualIdentity
that describes the identity that was removed. If the identity could not be found or the contextual identities feature is not enabled, the promise is rejected.
