Examples

This example adds two menu items. When the user clicks the item labeled "Remove all!", the extension removes both items using removeAll().

js
function onRemoved() {
  console.log("items removed successfully");
}

browser.menus.create({
  id: "click-me",
  title: "Click me!",
  contexts: ["all"],
});

browser.menus.create({
  id: "remove-all",
  title: "Remove all!",
  contexts: ["all"],
});

browser.menus.onClicked.addListener((info, tab) => {
  if (info.menuItemId === "remove-all") {
    let removing = browser.menus.removeAll();
    removing.then(onRemoved);
  }
});
