Problem with jslib in Firefox

[Enno Fennema]

On Firefox 3.x installed extension jslib. In chrome file script like
    var date = new Date();
    dump(date + "\n");
works fine but unable to get something like
    var gFile = new File("/tmp/jslib.dat");
to work.

May be related to the namespace problem referred to in
> http://www.mozdev.org/pipermail/project_owners/2009-March/012236.html
but what is the solution.

jslib did wonders for me under old seamonkey but would like to change to
Firefox now and must get my xul program to work first.

Appreciate any help.

This should work. You are including the correct lib right?

include (jslib_file);


I have been using jsLib w/ FF 3.x and have had mo problems.

I do know that the top level jslib object is probably broken as for FF
3.x they changed how top level objects can be exposed to the DOM.

So it is possible that instantiating using:

  jslib.init(this);

is broken\ on FF 3.5.x

You put your finger on all problems. I muddled around before I had the
correct library loaded correctly. Then the first thing that worked was
the Date object which didn't need jslib.init nor include. I then
erroneously assumed that these instructions were not needed any more in
the FFox new setup.

Script now runs as it used to, that is flawlessly.

Thanks,

Yes, I need to do some updating in docs and code as well.
