The resume() function of the downloads API resumes a paused download. If the request was successful, the download will be unpaused and progress will resume. The resume() call will fail if the download is not active: for example, because it has finished downloading.
This is an asynchronous function that returns a Promise.
Syntax
var resuming = browser.downloads.resume( downloadId // integer )
Parameters
downloadId- An
integerrepresenting theidof the download to resume.
Return value
A Promise. If the request was successful, the promise will be fulfilled with no arguments. If the request failed, the promise will be rejected with an error message.
