Details

Goal: - for all tabs and browser window, a div (over content) with controls, indicators (whatever). - replaces 'addon-bar' sorts of patterns. EXAMPLES: - top / bottom of content buttons, tab counts, etc. Omnipresent, but changable content. Possible paths (with hiccups): - CHROME. do it all in chrome: https://github.com/jchhikara/Context-menu-search/blob/search-with-icon/index.js#L157 . XUL element. (Probably fast, requires xul knowledge. Not described) - PageMod: with a fixed position div. Doesn't work on XUL pages. Seems to load 'late'. - Panel? (non transparent) - Avoid the pattern, try something else. It feels like the addon system should make this one awesome, but currently does not.
