Ah, right. did not know this. I had a look at the source to try to figure out how hard it would be to change this. The source is in toolkit/mozapps/plugins/content/, and it a xul plugin written in javascript. pere@host:~/src/iceweasel-10.0.12esr$ ls ./toolkit/mozapps/plugins/content/ pluginFinderBinding.css pluginInstallerWizard.xul pluginInstallerDatasource.js pluginProblemBinding.css pluginInstallerService.js pluginProblemContent.css pluginInstallerWizard.css pluginProblem.xml pluginInstallerWizard.js pere@host:~/src/iceweasel-10.0.12esr$ I guess this is the reason why it is talking to a http server, perhaps it is hard to talk to local services from a XUL plugin? I do not know much about XUL plugins nor able to code in JavaScript, so I am not sure how to help here. Perhaps the Ubuntu implementation is the most sensible way to do it? -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
