hide() overrides pattern matching, so the page action will not be shown in the specified tab even if its URL is matched by show_matches.

js-nolint
browser.pageAction.hide(
  tabId // integer
)

Parameters

  • tabId
    • : integer. The ID of the tab for which you want to hide the page action.

Examples

Hide the page action for the current tab when the user clicks it:

js
browser.pageAction.onClicked.addListener((tab) => {
  browser.pageAction.hide(tab.id);
});
