When I exercise an XPCOM module I wrote via surfing to the test.html on file://..., it works fine. the first time I try, Mozilla (Chimera, actually) asks if I want to grant the appropriate access, then it proceeds to enter my response in prefs.js. However, when I try it via http://..., it does _not_ work. I get an "enablePrivilege not granted" JS error and adding the user_pref capability.principal... for, say, "http://"; does nothing at all.
What setting will enable this? it's not a lot of use only being able to access file://! Thank you, Michael Caine
