bookmarks.create()

Creates a bookmark or folder as a child of the BookmarkTreeNode with the specified parentId. To create a folder, omit or leave empty the CreateDetails.url parameter.

Warning: If your extension tries to create a new bookmark in the bookmark tree's root node, it raises an error: "The bookmark root cannot be modified" and the bookmark won't be created.

This is an asynchronous function that returns a Promise.

Syntax

let createBookmark = browser.bookmarks.create(
  bookmark                  // CreateDetails object
)

Parameters

bookmark

A bookmarks.CreateDetails object.

Return value

A Promise that will be fulfilled with a BookmarkTreeNode that describes the new bookmark node.

Examples

This example creates a bookmark for this page, placing it in the default folder ("Other Bookmarks" in Firefox and Chrome).

function onCreated(node) {
  console.log(node);
}

let createBookmark = browser.bookmarks.create({
  title: "bookmarks.create() on MDN",
  url: "https://developer.mozilla.org/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/bookmarks/create"
});

createBookmark.then(onCreated);
