Python - How to get Firefox barcode content on GNU / Linux?

Question

I need to get the contents of the URL bar (currently open tab) of Firefox using Python. I found several solutions for Windows (using libraries like pywin32), but I need it for GNU / Linux (if available, then, of course, the multi-platform way is most preferred). I also found ways to do this by installing an add-on for Firefox, but I want the user to install only Python for him and (when needed) the [Python] libraries.

You may be lucky with DBus, although I don't know if it is provided in a standard installation.
