Examples
This code adds two context menu items: one stores a value associated with the current tab, the other one removes it:
async function setOnActiveTab() { let tabArray = await browser.tabs.query({currentWindow: true, active: true}); let tabId = tabArray[0].id; await browser.sessions.setTabValue(tabId, "my-key", "my-value"); } async function removeFromActiveTab() { let tabArray = await browser.tabs.query({currentWindow: true, active: true}); let tabId = tabArray[0].id; await browser.sessions.removeTabValue(tabId, "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") { setOnActiveTab(); } else { removeFromActiveTab(); } });
