Cross-Page communication in firefox extension
- by OzBarry
I have two tabs that my extension uses and I wanted to pass events back and forth between them. I've already developed a Google Chrome extension that does this via the background page api, but there doesn't seem to be an equivalent in firefox.
I thought message-manager in the firefox extension docs would do the trick, but the documentation on the object is quite poor.
I'd be just as happy with using one of the tabs to control the other if I can't directly import the ideas of a background page from google chrome api.
Any help/guidance would be great.
