how to show menubar in a popup window from an extension(without modifying config) ?
I'm currently implementing an extention and I would like to start it from a popup window(the reason why is not important), so I would like to show the menu ar of the popup window to access the button which start my extention.
How can I do that in javascript from my extention ?

There are dom.disable_window_open_feature prefs to control what items a script can hide.
- dom.disable_window_open_feature.menubar
See:
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
Thanck you for your answer.
Unfortunatly, my plugin aim to help debug javascript code. So, it's not my code which directly open popup, it's the code I'm watching. I cannot give argument to window.open.
Correct me if I did not understand something, but your second option consist in modifying the settings of the user browser. How could I do that from a plugin ?
Also, I realized that when I open a popup without the plugin tester(cfx run), i.e. in opening firefox the usual way, popup windows have the menubar with plugin buttons. O.o Is anyone know why this difference ?

By the way, I know what I'm trying to do is possible because firebug and all the other extension in my firefox have their icon in my popup windows. Only mine is not there.
Did you check the dom.disable_window_open_feature.* prefs?
Setting this pref to true should prevent JavaScript from disabling the menu bar in a pop-up.
- dom.disable_window_open_feature.menubar = true
