Hello, A company I am cooperating with wants to create a browser extension that will be part of a B2B system that will be used by end-users throughout Europe. The extension must be able to: - Install itself so that it will be loaded whenever the user's web browser starts. - Add buttons/menus/windows to the user's web browser interface. - Intercept any web page the user loads and search its contents for data. - Open sockets, HTTP/HTTPS connections, files, etc.
They're going to do it on MSIE using their browser helper objects (BHO) technology. My question is: can this be done also for Netscape 6.x and other Mozilla-based browsers using XUL and XPCom? I'm a bit confused with the documentation at mozilla.org and I'm just looking for pointers to more documentation etc. Also, are there any legal problems, since Mozilla is open-source and this application will be closed-source? TIA, Pantelis Panayiotou e-Biz Ltd. - www.e-biz.com.cy Please respond at [EMAIL PROTECTED] P.S. Sorry if this is the wrong group to ask this questions - please tell me and it won't happen again. I've also posted this at netscape.public.mozilla.general and netscape.public.dev.xul.
