[Using global 'name'] Does this explain why I can pass the variable

The property that you are using is a property of the tab or browser instance, rather than the document, unlike most properties of the global object.

It does seem to be much simpler that other methods, eg passing the
value with the URL etc.

Parsing values out of the query string (or a cookie) is hardly a difficult task.

Does doing this have any negative side effect?

Other than the fact that it might not work? There's no particular reason why it should, and indeed it doesn't in Firefox.
