userScripts.RegisteredUserScript (Legacy)

Warning: This is documentation for the legacy userScripts API. It's available in Firefox for Manifest V2. For functionality to work with user scripts in Manifest V3 see the new userScripts API.

A RegisteredUserScript object is returned by a call to userScripts.register() and represents the user scripts registered in that call.

The object defines a single method, unregister(), which is used to unregister the user scripts.

Note: If this object is destroyed (for example because it goes out of scope) then the associated scripts will be unregistered automatically, so you should keep a reference to this object for as long as you want the user scripts to stay registered.

Methods

unregister()

Unregisters the user scripts represented by this object.
