Thank you to everyone who has shared ideas so far. I've compiled a
project plan for this feature here:

can be used by both system addons

What about using it to help detect phishing sites.
For example, when filling out a user/password form, if the touch bar
displayed the domain name (not the full URL) we're submitting to (for
example mybank.com), that might help prevent some phishing attacks. The
user just has to glance down at the
I can think of many potential use cases; some are small and others are larger
and more involved.
I’d love to be able to have WebExtensions be able to add widgets (or even
simple buttons) to the Touch Bar. It might also be helpful if the developer
tools could be exposed there, if the developer

I wonder if focus can serve as a context too. What if DevTools is opened
and has focused? The "main screen" would still be the content page of

+1 on doing WebExt APIs in parallel - this can be done outside of
mozilla-central on non-release channels using WebExtension Experiments
(https://webextensions-experiments.readthedocs.io)
Once the implementation in mozilla-central is settled down, the
experimental API can be merged.

I can see the advantage of addons exploring and iterating on this, but
making the first version of this API addon-accessible might
unnecessarily delay it. If there is enough interest in this, we might
want to start this effort in parallel and release it in a subsequent
version.

Will this API be accessible to addons? Seems like this would be a good
place for people to explore and iterate.

To build upon the "tab bar" idea: scrolling quickly among my 300+ tabs.
