1231819 - Implement tabs.captureVisibleTab API

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(WebExtensions :: Untriaged, defect, P2)

Description

[Mike Taylor [:miketaylr]]

I'd like to build a web extension that does:

User clicks button on tab A
New tab B is opened
A screenshot of the window from tab A is passed to tab B
Content script on tab B does something magical with the screenshot

This is going to need the same IPC work as `executeScript` and friends.
