| |
| − | We're seeing a timing issue when using nsITimer on MSWindows that does not occur on GNU/Linux.
| |
| − | | |
| − | A javascript XPCOM component sets a TYPE_ONE_SHOT timer to go off in one hour. The timer does not go off until significantly (more than 2X) after that. Anyone else seems different nsITimer behavior on Windows or have any sort of explanation about whether this is a problem with the win32 timer implementation, or whether there is some workaround?

| |
| − | | |
| − | Question:
| |
| − | In IE, when I enter a URL that starts with "file://" in the address bar, an instance of the windows explorer will be launched and display the directory in the URL. However, in Firefox, a custom directory listing will be displayed instead of Windows Explorer. Is there anyway, via plugin or extension, for Firefox to mimic the functionality of IE in this respect? [http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.extensions/browse_thread/thread/04733b78731e2c10/cf6ac1c6e12aefdb#cf6ac1c6e12aefdb]
| |
| − | | |
| − | Answer:
| |
| − | The IETab (Opens IE in a Firefox tab) should be able do this if you set it to always open "file://*" URLs in an IE tab.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The appearance with a FireFox tab isn't quite the same as having a completely separate Explorer window. However, it's functional and does allow for the Explorer to be handling the display of the folder contents, and all of the right-click context menu support is present so it should meet my needs.

| |
| | | | |
| − | 1. You can use nsISecretDecoderRing.encryptString() and nsISecretDecoderRing.decryptString(). However, I'm not sure how/if that works if the user hasn't defined a master password in Options->Security->Use a master password.
