ES6 Promise style

confirmWithPopup(...)
 .then(function(aButtonIndex) {
   // the callback receives the index of the clicked button.
   switch (aButtonIndex) {
     case 0: return YesAction();
     case 1: return YesForeverAction();
     case 2: return NoForeverAction();
   }
 })
 .catch(function(aError) {
   // dismissed or removed (not called if any button is chosen)
   ...
 });

without Promise

confirmWithPopup({ ...,
  // Yes, Yes Forever, or No Forever
  callback : function(aButtonIndex) { ... },
  // dismissed or removed (not called if any button is chosen)
  onerror  : function(aError) { ... }
});
