management.setEnabled()
Enables or disables the given add-on.
This function must usually be called in the context of a user action, such as the click handler for a button. The browser may also ask the user to confirm the change.
This API requires the "management" API permission.
It is an asynchronous function that returns a Promise.
The function allows enabling/disabling of theme addons, but will return an error if used to enable or disable other types of web extension.

id, // string

A Promise that will be fulfilled with no arguments when the add-on has been disabled or enabled.

let getting = browser.management.get(id);
getting.then((info) => {
browser.management.setEnabled(id, !info.enabled);
});
