Yes, UniversalXPConnect should allow this. One thing to keep in mind is
scope - enabled privileges remain in effect until the function that
called enablePrivilege goes out of scope. This means that privileges
enabled in a top-level script will not apply to event handlers. If that
doesn't clear up the problem, can you send me a testcase? Make your
testcase as little code as possible to demonstrate the problem, and I'll
try to diagnose it - it may be a bug in the browser.
