I have placed a findfile.manifest file under /home/akshay/.mozilla/firefox/xxxx.dev/chrome/

Let's say I write a really kick-ass interface. So kick-ass, in fact, that I'd like some of the builtin types I use to implement them, so that whatever code I write that uses this interface can also use the builtin types.
public interface IKickAss
{
int Yeahhhhhhh() { get; }
}
public static class Woot
{
public int Bar(IKickAss a...
Hello,
I would be thankful for any help on this:
I want to write an extension to my c library. I created file zmq.cpp that uses library libzmq (written in C++).
I created makefile using ruby extconf.rb, then I run nmake. It all went fine. Nmake generated files
librbzmq-i386-mswin32.def
librbzmq-i386-mswin32.lib

I am working on this mvc project following Rob Connery's storefront video series and applying the techniques.
On the filtering and extensions methods, i started repeating myself a lot such as:

{
return qry.SingleOrDefault(s => s.ID== ID);
}
public static Keyword With...
I'm going to develop a Firefox extension which should put a button in the loaded pages, when the tag: <input type="file" ... > is found and a file has been selected.
Likewise, I think the skype toolbar does a similar thing: when a website contains a phone number, the Skype extension automatically converts it into a button that can be cl...
I'm going to develop a firefox extension which adds a button beside the file input fields (the <input type="file"> tag) when a file is selected.
The file overlay.js, which contains the extension's logic, manages the "file choose" event through this method:
var xpitest = {
...
onFileChosen: function(e) {
var fileInput = ...
My FireFox extension has an external dll dependency for functioning. So I include that dll inside my xpi and copy that dll to the right directory in first run. But it does not work for me because I found my own dll (written in XPCOM C++) expects to see that external dll during install. So every time I have to manually put the external dl...

Anyone reading my last batch of questions knows I'm working on a Firefox add-on for my office intranet. So, here's the latest; this time a concern instead of an obstacle:
So, my first plan was to build a sign-in form right into the chrome, so that it blended and didn't require any dealings with iframes/browsers/etc. But after some think...
I need to allow client users to extend the data contained by a JPA entity at runtime. In other words I need to add a virtual column to the entity table at runtime. This virtual column will only be applicable to certain data rows and there could possibly be quite a few of these virtual columns. As such I don't want to create an actual add...

When writning very simple and basic extension for firefox, what event (I don't know if this is the right word) should I use if I want to process user selected text?
To be more precise: when user selects some text (for example when ALT is pressed), I want to pass this text to function, grab some data from the web (based on select...
Background
I have an existing extension designed to accompany a browser-based game (The extension is mine, the game is not). The extension had been scraping the pages as they came in for the data it needed and making ajax requests for taking any actions.
Problem
The game developers recently changed a number of actions on the site to use...
Hey guys,
I am building a Firefox extension and have come a long way. One of the parts of my extension is where I display a DIV at the bottom of the page and I want to put an ad into the div, but for some reason every time it does so, it redirects to another page entirely with the ad on it. So it looks like its not allowing me to inse...
I'm writing a ruby extension that defines a class.
If I use Data_Wrap_Struct() to implement my callback for rb_define_alloc_func(), do I need to manually mark and free the instance variables? Or is that still handled for me?
