I hope that this question is not too elementary for this group. I am new to Firefox and the Mozilla platform, but I am trying to build a Firefox extension. I want to sign my javascript (on Windows, the only platform available to me), but I can't find the signtool.exe that appears to be neccessary anywhere. I did find some source code for it, but it's way over my head to know what to do with that - I already am just barely keeping my head above water with learning javascript :-). Thanks for any help!
Signtool is a part of NSS. There are pre-built binaries available.
NSS can be had here: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/security/nss/releases/NSS_3_9_2_RTM/ The one you most likely want (being on windows...probably XP) is this: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/security/nss/releases/NSS_3_9_2_RTM/WINNT4.0_OPT.OBJ/nss-3.9.2.zip
NSS has a dependency on NSPR so you'll need that as well Grab it here: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/nspr/releases/v4.4.1/ Again, the one you most likely want is this: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/nspr/releases/v4.4.1/WINNT5.0_OPT.OBJ/nspr-4.4.1.zip
Either move the contents of the lib directory of each package to somewhere in your PATH or throw it all into one directory and keep it with the signtool executable (and alternatively add THAT directory to your path or just run it from that directory). Good luck.
