Yeah, I tried that before (also using the "UniversalBrowserAccess"
privilege) but it did not work....

The dialog is displayed but I end up with "Error: uncaught exception:
Permission denied to get property HTMLDocument.forms" in the JavaScript
Console, anyway.
Here is an ilustration. It loads a page with the "Show Form" button and
opens google in another window. Despite using the privileges I cannot
access the google form.
<HTML>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
oneWind=window.open("http://www.google.com.pl","oneWind";)
</SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function checkForm() {
netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalBrowserAccess")
netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalPreferencesRead")
netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalPreferencesWrite")
alert(oneWind.document.forms[0].q.value)
}
</SCRIPT>
<FORM>
<INPUT TYPE="Button" NAME="Go" Value="Show Form" onClick="checkForm()">
</FORM>
</HTML>
