Firefox Jetpack display addon button next to adress bar


I have a chrome extension that I want to port to firefox. In chrome, my extension has a button on the right of the adress bar which displays a popup when it's clicked providing a livesearch interface.

Firefox Development seems to be a bit complicated coming from chrome, so ich picked the Jetpack SDK or "Addon-SDK" to take a first look.

Is it possible to display my addon icon next to the adress bar using Jetpack, or do I have to use this full feature monster SDK?
