Hi all,
I'm trying to write a Firefox extension that adds an extra property to
the "window" object that Web pages' scripts have access to. As you know,
currently, scripts in Web pages can access such objects as
window
window.document
window.navigator
window.netscape
...
I'd like to add my own property onto this window object that all Web
pages' scripts can access
window.foo
I will provide the implementation of foo as necessary. I'm hoping that
someone here can tell me how to do this. I've tried a number of methods
(such as overloading the <browser> XBL binding), but I don't see how to
do this cleanly from within an extension.
The major issue is probably security. And I can't require every Web page
that wants to use this object to be signed so that it can request
privileges.
Many thanks in advance!
David

One options is to do what window.sidebar does it at
http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvsblame.cgi?file=mozilla/browser/components/sidebar/src/nsSidebar.js&rev=1.11#228
I think. I'm hoping whatever window.sidebar does is secure - so you
probably need to look at its nsIClassInfo impl too :)
