Assuming you have chrome privileges, this should work:
var Ci = Components.interfaces;

var topLevelWindow =
window.QueryInterface(Ci.nsIInterfaceRequestor)
.getInterface(Ci.nsIWebNavigation)
.QueryInterface(Ci.nsIDocShellTreeItem)
.rootTreeItem
.QueryInterface(Ci.nsIInterfaceRequestor)
.getInterface(Ci.nsIDOMWindow)
.QueryInterface(Ci.nsIDOMChromeWindow);
var sidebar = topLevelWindow.document.getElementById("sidebar");
alert(sidebar.contentDocument);
