Summary
The isExplicit method allows to know if the setting is explicit (true) or implicit (false).
Depending on the privileges of the applications, some permissions are implicit. If for some reason the application tries to change permission for an implicit one, an error will be thrown. In order to avoid such errors, it's possible to check if the permission is explicit with this method.
Syntax
var value = navigator.mozPermissionsettings.isExplicit(permission, manifest, origin, browserFlag)
Parameters

browserFlag- A boolean indicating if the app is running in the browser instead of as an installed app.
