Comment 4 Angelo Borsotti 2012-09-13 15:01:02 PDT I set manually the preferences by adding to the prefs.js file (in the profile directory) the appropriate lines,

Doesn't mozilla has any similar interfaces which can be implemented in the XPCOM component ?

Now I have changed my approach. Instead of modifying pref.js file, I am accessing the file from local folder. Can you suggest any way using which I can avoid the Warning dialog as well. I have tried adding the following to pref.js but it still not working.user_pref("capability.principal.codebase.p0.granted", "UniversalXPConnect");user_pref("capability.principal.codebase.p0.id", "file:///D|/Cassini/Name1.html");user_pref("capability.principal.codebase.p0.subjectName", "");Pls. help me regarding the same. jscher2000 Posts: 10033Joined: December 19th, 2004, 12:26 amLocation: Silicon Valley, CA USA Website Posted March 10th, 2010, 7:01 pm Close.
