Old content scripts are not automatically stopped when an extension updates and reloads. Often, this leads to "Invalidated context" errors in production when a content script from an old version of your extension tries to use a extension API.

Old content scripts are not automatically stopped when an extension updates and reloads. Often, this leads to "Invalidated context" errors in production when a content script from an old version of your extension tries to use a web extension API (ie, the `browser` or `chrome` globals).

WXT provides a utility for managing this process: `ContentScriptContext`. An instance of this class is provided to you automatically inside the `main` function of your content script.

When your extension updates or is uninstalled, the context will become invalidated, and will trigger any `ctx.onInvalidated` listeners you add:

The class extends [`AbortController`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/AbortController) and provides other utilities for stopping a content script's logic once it becomes invalidated.

|
||||
When working with content scripts, **you should always use the `ctx` object to stop any async or future work.**
|
||||
|
||||
This prevents old content scripts from interfering with new content scripts, and prevents error messages from the console in production.
|
||||
|
||||
If you're using a framework like React, Vue, Svelte, etc., make sure you're unmounting your UI properly in the `onRemove` option of [`createShadowRootUi`](https://wxt.dev/guide/content-script-ui.html#shadow-root).
