management.getPermissionWarningsById()
When the user installs or upgrades an add-on, the browser may warn the user about any particularly powerful permissions that the add-on has requested. Not all permissions result in warnings, and this behavior is not standardized across browsers.
Given the ID of an add-on, this function returns the permission warnings for it as an array of strings.
This API requires the "management" API permission.
This is an asynchronous function that returns a Promise.
Syntax
let gettingWarnings = browser.management.getPermissionWarningsById(
id // string
)
Parameters
id-
string. ID of the add-on whose permission warnings you want to retrieve.
Return value
A Promise that will be fulfilled with an array of strings, each of which contains the text of a permission warning.
Examples
Log the permission warnings for the add-on whose ID is "my-add-on":
let id = "my-add-on";
function gotWarnings(warnings) {
for (const warning of warnings) {
console.log(warning);
}
}
browser.management.getPermissionWarningsById(id).then(gotWarnings);
