Create a new tab instead of a panel

Question

I have gone through the examples of Add-on SDK 1.5 yet haven't seen anything like a web page which the addon can interact with the user and get input from him. There are only dialogs called panels and I really would like to have a real page in a tab like in google-chrome addons.

Is it even possible with the Add-on SDK (1.5)?

Answer 1

Of course you can create a tab, you use tabs.open(). As to interacting with this tab - you probably want to register a content script before opening the tab. Just like you would do it with Google Chrome.
