Subj : Making a "Singleton" Chrome Extension

I'm writing a chrome extension that currently creates an instance of
an object when an overlay is loaded. This currently means that a new
instance is created for every window that contains the overlay.

I would prefer to be able to create a single instance of the object
when the Mozilla starts, and make reference to this instance when
other windows are created. This also means that I would like to keep
the instance alive after the overlay that created it has been
destroyed.

This should just be a simple Singleton model. Is there some type of
registry I can use to store and retrieve a reference to this object
each time the overlay loads, and does anyone have any examples of a
similar implementation? Thanks you,
