To open a new browser window, you can simply use <code>window.open</code>.  However, <code>window.open</code> returns a <code>Window</code> object for content, not for the browser window itself, so you should get the chrome <code>Window</code> first. The simplest way to do that is to use [http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/nsIWindowMediator nsIWindowMediator].


== Example ==

window.open();
var wm = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/appshell/window-mediator;1"]
                    .getService(Components.interfaces.nsIWindowMediator);
var newWindow = wm.getMostRecentWindow("navigator:browser");
var b = newWindow.getBrowser();
