runtime.openOptionsPage()

If your extension has an options page defined, this method opens it.

This is an asynchronous function that returns a Promise.

Syntax

js
let openingPage = browser.runtime.openOptionsPage()

Parameters

None.

Return value

A Promise that will be fulfilled with no arguments when the options page has been created successfully, or rejected with an error message if the operation failed.

Browser compatibility

BCD tables only load in the browser

Examples

Open the options page when the user clicks a browser action's icon:

js
function onOpened() {
  console.log(`Options page opened`);
}

function onError(error) {
  console.log(`Error: ${error}`);
}

let opening = browser.runtime.openOptionsPage();
opening.then(onOpened, onError);
