contextualIdentities.get()
Gets information about a contextual identity, given its cookie store ID.
This is an asynchronous function that returns a Promise.
Syntax
js
let getContext = browser.contextualIdentities.get(
cookieStoreId // string
)
Parameters
-
string. The ID of this contextual identity's cookie store. Because contextual identities each have their own cookie store, this serves as an identifier for the contextual identity itself.
Return value
A Promise that will be fulfilled with a ContextualIdentity that describes the identity. If the identity could not be found or the contextual identities feature is not enabled, the promise is rejected.
