.

var removing = browser.sessions.removeWindowValue(
windowId, // integer
key // string
)
Parameters
windowId
integer
. ID of the window whose data you are trying to remove. Error is thrown if ID is invalid.key
string
. Key identifying the particular value to remove. This needs to match the key previously given insessions.setWindowValue

Examples
This code adds two context menu items: one stores a value associated with the current window, the other one removes it:
async function setOnActiveWindow() {
let currentWindow = await browser.windows.getLastFocused();
await browser.sessions.setWindowValue(currentWindow.id, "my-key", "my-value");
}
async function removeFromActiveWindow() {
let currentWindow = await browser.windows.getLastFocused();
await browser.sessions.removeWindowValue(currentWindow.id, "my-key");
}
browser.menus.create({
id: "add-my-item",
title: "add item",
contexts: ["all"]
});
browser.menus.create({
id: "remove-my-item",
title: "remove item",
contexts: ["all"]
});
browser.menus.onClicked.addListener((info) => {
if (info.menuItemId === "add-my-item") {
setOnActiveWindow();
} else {
removeFromActiveWindow();
}
});
