My goal would be that you wouldn't need to interact with it at all.
(You would need to have Firefox running in the background, but that's it
-- no need to actually interact with the window as a user.)

I do not know of a way to do this at the moment.  But it may already
exist somewhere, and if it doesn't, I don't think it will be too hard to
build.  (If anyone knows better, please let me know!)
 
Best,
