I'm writing some scripts that are using the HTML 5 file API in FireFox 3.6. I got some deflated (compressed) files, and I need to inflate (uncompress) them. I found a few scripts while googling, but none of them have tests. So I'm a bit reluctant to use them. My question is: Browsers can inflate. Can I somehow piggyback on the inflatio...

I haven't been able to find a useful document describing what I need to do to my plugin to make it an XPI, or at least loadable by firefox, ca...
I've got a page with several Update Panels on it. The first has a panel with a gridview which has an event to close the panel and update the UpdatePanel - then populate a control in a second updatepanel.

I'm unclear on the difference between the functioning of a plugin vs an extension. For years, I've written a plain old NPAPI plugin. It lived in /Library/ Plug-ins on mac and somewhere similar on a PC. With Firefox 3.6, it stopped working. Looking around, I see this: http://blog.mozilla.com/security/2009/11/16/component-directory-lockd....
