@David Caunt: but how do they do it? I am not interested in knowing **which** extensions can do it (of course this is helpful if I get to the point of reverse-engineering an extension to get my answer).

An xpi is just a zip file - you can extract it and view the source

A:
In Firefox it is possible, in Chrome it in not possible yet, but this is a common request from extensions developers, so they are working on it (Chrome devs are mainly worried about performances hit).
