Can firefox add-on create files

Question

I'm working on a firefox plugin. Part of what I want it to do is when a button is clicked, it write some output to a file. The file may not exist, it which case it needs to be created. If the file exists, it needs to be appended to. Is this possible with firefox add-ons?
