Hi Robert. There's no direct replacement for what you're looking to do. Here are a few alternatives though: - Rather than causing a popup automatically, instead animate a browser action icon with some status and let the user click on it to see the popup. - Do the popup as an overlay in the page (since you've already got a content script there). - Create a new window when you need a popup (window.open()) > A second (unrelated) question, are there any ways to access the clipboard? Not at the moment, but this is on our radar. Could you give me an idea of your specific use case?
