I agree. JJ's remarks are very creative about using the window to store
information.
Any idea how to get getselection() working on the current window, since
Get URL takes you to a new window or frame?

You can already do some basic things with AppleScript and Firefox. Eg:
Get
URL "javascript:void(alert(document.location.href));"
So how would you use this ability to create a javascript variable and
return
its value? : Get URL "javascript: var a ; a=2+3; return (a);" ? I can't
get
this to work or to return any javascript expression result.
Well, if you use an approach like that, with 'Get URL', you can put some
evaluated JS results _into_ a FireFox window. I couldn't specifically
set a
variable to the result, however (perhaps JJ's idea to populate the
'title'
window attribute could work, I don't know.)
Here's building your simple example of adding:
-- Tested: FireFox 1.0.5
--
set jsVar_a to 2
set jsVar_b to 3
set jsEvalString to "javascript:eval(" & jsVar_a & " + " & jsVar_b &
");"
tell application "Firefox_105" to Get URL jsEvalString
--
--> FF window displays '5'
