Issue with "bookmarks.export()": Is export a method, an event? Does it even exist?

[gezeta-id]

MDN URL: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/bookmarks/export

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

bookmarks.export() is rather suspicious. It's classified as an event on the left sidebar. But then it is presented as a method to be called to export bookmarks. It receives a callback as argument, but then there's no explanation at all about what that callback is for.

A box points to: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/chrome/common/extensions/api/bookmarks.json#418 where it is indeed included as a method an not as an event. But then again, the same box points to https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/bookmarks/#method-export where export is no longer listed, neither as a method nor as an event.

There's also no other mention of export in all of the Bookmarks API section https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/bookmarks at all other than the mentioned appearance in the sidebar.

Should the page https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/bookmarks/export maybe be removed altogether?

Specific section or headline?

The whole page.

What did you expect to see?

Either an event, a method, none at all.

Did you test this? If so, how?

No.
