Now that Firefox supports WebExtensions, it has become a lot easier to build browser extensions/addons for multiple browsers without duplicating the codebase. This project serves as a sensible starting point to help you get started. I have extracted this from the browser extensions that I built for my side-project, Email This. Side note: Do check out Email This. It is a simpler alternative to bookmarking tools like Pocket, Readability & Instapaper. Email This will remove ads & distractions from an article and send you a nice email with just the text/images. No need to install any additional applications or login to another app just to access your bookmarks. The Chrome Extensions is available on the Chrome Web Store.

I managed to solve my problem after reading some more about the Firefox Extensions. So basically what I was doing is managing the popup document not the webpage. In order to interact with the webbrowser current page I needed to change another type of js called a content script, which is different from the popup.js javascript file(similar to the background script) that I was editing.

So basically I had to use the communication between the background and content-script with regards to the documentation.

On the content_script.js , I interacted with the web-page using some eval function.
