JetPack API Reference
The jetpack Namespace
The jetpack namespace is available to all Jetpack Features, and is the main point of contact for Features with the rest of Firefox. The API is intended as a lightweight backwards-compatible facade to the underlying Mozilla platform, which means that if you write a Feature using the Jetpack library, you shouldn't have to change your code as Firefox continues to evolve.
For now, it has the following properties:

jetpack.tabs
jetpack.tabs is an Array-like object with special tab-related properties. Each element of the array is a Tab object.
jetpack.tabs.focused
This is the Tab object that corresponds to the currently focused/active tab.
Limitations: At present, the tabs array is immutable, which means that destructive methods like splice() won't work on them. All other Array methods and properties are available, however.
