bookmarks.onImportBegan
Fired when the browser has started importing a set of bookmarks.
While a set of bookmarks is being imported, onCreated
may fire a lot of times. If your extension is listening to onCreated
, and the listener is expensive, you should also listen for onImportBegan
and onImportEnded
. When you receive onImportBegan
, ignore onCreated
until you receive onImportEnded
. You can handle all other notifications as usual.
