How To Add A Notification On The App Tab Of The Firefox?

The FF4 delivers an app tab feature and it looks like both Gmail and Twitter have some notification code when a new mail or tweet come the app tab would look like a litter lighter.

Solution 1:

Do you mean that you're building a website and you want to let Firefox notify the user on an event when the tab is pinned?

I'm fairly certain Firefox does it when the website's <title> is changed. For instance on Twitter, when there's a new tweet, the title is changed from "Twitter / Home" to "(1) Twitter / Home". Firefox notices this and notifies the user.

So really, any javascript function that changes <title> will make it work.

I hope that helps
