I am curious to know if anyone has been successful using processing.js inside a Firefox extension. I am aware of the difficulties of using external libraries inside extensions and the fact that it has to be loaded in a way that will not pollute the global namespace, conflict with other extensions or Firefox itself. But with those conce...

While I can easily a...

I want to use my own console for my extension, where I would be printing out various debug info. I thought I would do that by doing window.open("chrome://myextension/content/console.xul".. and then printing into textboxes of that window. Do you already see something wrong here? =) Now I have a small problem, window.open returns immedi...

Sorry for any confusion, I am not a beginner looking ...
I'm having a hard time getting jquery fades and the opacity css element to respond to me in a firefox extension that I am writing. I am using FireFox 3.6. I'm pretty sure that these two problems are related. This code is not fading, it is simply popping on and off the screen after a four second wait: css_notify_div = { position: 'f...

The note at the bottom of this Mozilla wiki page currently says: "Using canvas.drawWindow() while handling a document's onload event doesn't work. In Firefox 3.5 or later, you can do this in a handler for the MozAfterPaint event to successfully draw HTML content into a canvas on page load." Which is fine, except that I tried it in Fire...

Hi, I'm brand new to Firefox extensions and am trying to update an old extension (that worked with Firefox 2.0) to have it work with 3.0. Everything seems to work, except the toolbar appears below the statusbar (which it does not in 2.0). It seems like the placement of it has to do with this statement (the "insertafter"): <toolbar id="s...

The code is at http://github.com/cwill747/KioskKeyboard/blob/master/kioskkeyboard/content/overlay.js, that's where the whole project is, but I'll post it here too. doEnter: function...
