# bookmark-it
> This example uses APIs that are available from Firefox 47 onwards.
## What it does
Displays a simple button in the menu bar that toggles a bookmark for the currently active tab.
To display the button, the extension registers a [browserAction](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/browserAction) in the manifest.
A background script will listen for tab events and update the browserAction icon correspondingly. It also listens for `browserAction.onClicked` events to create or remove a bookmark when the user has clicked the icon.
## What it shows
* how to use the various `bookmarks` functions
* create a bookmark
* remove a bookmark
* search bookmarks by url
* how to register a browserAction
* how to listen for tab changes
