Long shot: Can Adobe AIR get the current url of your firefox tab?

Question

I know this is a longshot but I was wondering if anyone knows if this is possible.

Answer 1

I know nothing about air.

But if AIR has JavaScript access, and you can access the container document ( http://stackoverflow.com/questions/193130/how-do-i-share-a-javascript-object-between-different-pages-in-adobe-air ) then all you need to work out is how to obtain Document.location from it.

Answer 2

Most browsers set the HTTP_REFERRER header to the current URL when requesting a linked document. However, it can be spoofed so don't use it for security.
