You can probably use a 'custom event' to send simple data from code
that runs on the user page to code running in the Greasemonkey
sandboxed script.
e.g. Code in userspace does something like (say domNode is a node you
want to send the event on)
var ev = document.createEvent('Events');
ev.initEvent('mycustomevent', null, null);
ev.myData1 = data1;
ev.myData2 = data2;
domNode.dispatchEvent(ev);
Then in a greasemonkey script you do something like
domNode.addEventListener('mycustomevent', customEHandler, true);
function customEHandler (e) {
var target = e.target;
var data1 = e.wrappedJSObject.myData1;
var data2 = e.wrappedJSObject.myData2;
... do stuff ...
}
XPC native wrapper doesn't automatically propagate custom event
properties so you have to unwrap things explicitly, and as I recall
the above should work correctly for your case.
If you are creating custom events in a greasemonkey
script, .createEvent returns a wrapped event which means means if you
want to attach data to it, it has to be done on the unwrapped event.
E.g.
ev.wrappedJSObject.myData1 = data1;
