addon-page

Create a page that does not contain navigational elements.

Usage

With the Add-on SDK you can present information to the user, such as a guide to using your add-on, in a browser tab. You can supply the content in an HTML file in your add-on's "data" directory.

For pages like this, navigational elements such as the Awesome Bar, Search Bar, or Bookmarks Toolbar are not usually relevant and distract from the content you are presenting. The addon-page module provides a simple way to have a page which excludes these elements.

To use the module import it using require(). After this, the page loaded from "data/index.html" will not contain navigational elements:

var addontab = require("sdk/addon-page");
var data = require("sdk/self").data;

require("sdk/tabs").open(data.url("index.html"));

This only affects the page at "data/index.html": all other pages are displayed normally.
