Managing a Firefox Extension Through Javascript

Question

Is it possible, using javascript, to control the extension of the firefox overlay? I extracted the contents of the extension and determined which functions / methods I need to execute, but they are not available within the console.

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Answer 1

Yes, it is possible to interact with other add-ons, given the right circumstances.

My test case will be com.googlecode.sqlitemanager.openInOwnWindow(), which is part of the SqliteManageraddon .

• ( Nightly) . , com.googlecode.sqlitemanager.openInOwnWindow() .

• ( WebDev Chrome, , "about: newtab" ). , . , , : var bwin = Services.wm.getMostRecentWindow("navigator:browser"); bwin.com.googlecode.sqlitemanager.openInOwnWindow()

• -. Scratchpad Chrome " ". com.googlecode.sqlitemanager.openInOwnWindow() Scratchpad .

• , , .

• .

• /SDK-: XPIProvider.jsm ( ) ( bootstrap.js) XPIProvider.bootstrapScopes[addonID] ( , , SDK).

chrome js:

var myExtension = {
  myListener: function(evt) {
   IprPreferences.setFreshIpStatus(true); // replace with whatever you want to 'fire' in the extension
  }
}

document.addEventListener("MyExtensionEvent", function(e) { myExtension.myListener(e); }, false, true);
// The last value is a Mozilla-specific value to indicate untrusted content is allowed to trigger the event.

-:

var element = document.createElement("MyExtensionDataElement");
element.setAttribute("attribute1", "foobar");
element.setAttribute("attribute2", "hello world");
document.documentElement.appendChild(element);

var evt = document.createEvent("Events");
evt.initEvent("MyExtensionEvent", true, false);
element.dispatchEvent(evt);
