That's correct (at least with respect to the URL bar). Look at the source for
how I got around that. It was a big kludge but it mostly worked.

Once you have control of the page, such as forwarding it to a chrome URL
under the control of the extension, you should be able to open a socket and
perform menu parsing and display.
