Question

In a Firefox add-on, I would like to set a temporary notification the top notification bar. By temporary, I mean that the notification would disappear after a couple seconds. Is this something possible?

Thank you.

Notifications don’t have an automatic timeout, but you can set your own timeout and call removeNotification to remove it.

var box = bar.appendNotification(label, value, image, priority, buttons);
setTimeout(function() { bar.removeNotification(box); }, delay);
