Yes, it works by Firefox listening for custom DOM events and then 
waiting for the web application to trigger an event.

See 
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Code_snippets/Interaction_between_privileged_and_non-privileged_pages

Another approach is used at 
http://hyperstruct.net/2006/8/18/exchanging-data-between-chrome-and-content 
, but I think it is safer to use the first one since the latter is more 
likely to lead to name conflicts.
