Stage 1: Definition
1. Feature overview
This API should give add-on developers the opportunity to have their add-on create a new tab with a reduced-chrome view and the ability to add html content to the tab.
2. Users & use cases
The best example of an add-on tab is the about:addons page. This page, when launched will take away the chrome for the awesomebar/search as well as a visible bookmarks bar leaving the user with a special page where the content is the most important element. This can be useful for preferences and special content.

Stage 3: Planning
7. Implementation plan
The implementation of this API should be fairly straight-forward as the page content implementation should be similar, if not the same, as the content allowed in currently in a panel. Therefore, new implementation should just be the creation of a new tab, and the creation of the reduced-chrome interface for that tab.
