How to build a popup with firefox plugin?

I would like to build a Firefox Addon. So when you press the button in the toolbar a sort of menu should appear.

enter image description here

I already got the button. But at developer.mozilla.org I only found how to add contextmenu, mainmenu or a popup.

About my firefox plugin: I want to create a plugin which use ip-adress to get the current location. When you click on the button in my toolbar a sort of popup should appear (like in my picture) and show my location and the nearest trainstation/stops for bus and train with the trains and the time it will stop there. I got the API for this information.

Is it possible to build it just like the picture or do I have to use a popup?

The post by Jura is very outdated. To create a popup with SDK you would use the panel module as outlined here:

To do the same with a WebExt you would do it like this:
