Shipping a plugin as a Toolkit bundle - Archive of obsolete content
plugin packages should only need to package a small set of files in the following structure in the xpi file: install.rdf plugins/ pluginlib.dll plugintypes.xpt the install.rdf file contains an install manifest that describes the plugin to the user.
...platform-specific files gecko 1.9.2 (firefox 3.6) and earlier prior to gecko 2.0 (firefox 4 / thunderbird 3.3 / seamonkey 2.1), it was possible to package multiple plugin libraries for different operating systems into a single xpi bundle.
... in the xpi you can use the following structure: platform/ linux_x86-gcc3/ plugins/ libplugin.so darwin_ppc-gcc3/ plugins/ libplugin.dylib more specific information can be found in the platform-specific subdirectories documentation.
... the unpack property is necessary to tell applications using newer versions of gecko to unpack the plugin because dlls can't be loaded from xpi files.

Storage access policy: Block cookies from trackers
the tracking origin must have received user interaction as a first party within the past 30 days, and the storage access permission expires after 15 minutes.
... http: yes js: no storage access expiration the storage access grant expires after 30 days.
... domains classified as tracking resources may be granted third-party storage access on multiple first parties, and the storage permission for each party expires independently.
... each time the heuristic is activated, or a success call to the storage access api is made, the pre-existing storage access expiration will be extended by 30 days, counting from the time the previous access was granted.

Gecko SDK

HTTP Cache
the only way to remove cacheentry objects from memory is by exhausting a memory limit for intermediate memory caching, what triggers a background process of purging expired and then least used entries from memory.
...handle given to the current writer, then exit state == writing: the writer failed to call metadataready on the entry - state = empty state == revalidating: the writer failed the re-validation process and failed to call setvalid on the entry - state = ready call to cacheentry::invokecallbacks all consumers release the reference: the entry may now be purged (removed) from memory when found expired or least used on overrun of the memory pool limit when this is a disk cache entry, its cached data chunks are released from memory and only meta data is kept intermediate memory caching of frequently used metadata (a.k.a.
...when the limit is exceeded, we purge (throw away) first expired and then least used entries to free up memory again.
... the memory pool is represented by two lists (strong refering ordered arrays) of cacheentry objects: sorted by expiration time (that default to 0xffffffff) sorted by frecency (defaults to 0) we have two such pools, one for memory-only entries actually representing the memory-only cache and one for disk cache entries for which we only keep the meta data.

PR_WaitCondVar
after a call to pr_waitcondvar, the lock is released and the thread is blocked in a "waiting on condition" state until another thread notifies the condition or a caller-specified amount of time expires.
... any value other than pr_interval_no_timeout or pr_interval_no_wait for the timeout parameter will cause the thread to be rescheduled due to either explicit notification or the expiration of the specified interval.
... the latter must be determined by treating time as one part of the monitored data being protected by the lock and tested explicitly for an expired interval.
... to detect the expiration of the specified interval, call pr_intervalnow before and after the call to pr_waitcondvar and compare the elapsed time with the specified interval.

NSS tools : signtool
if any of your certificates are expired or invalid, the list will so specify.
...this includes checking that the certificate for the issuer of the object-signing certificate is listed in the certificate database, that the ca's digital signature on the object-signing certificate is valid, that the relevant certificates have not expired, and so on.

Using the Places livemark service
when the update timer fires, it iterates over the list of livemarks, and will refresh a livemark *only* if it's expired.
... the expiration time for a livemark is determined by using information provided by the server when the feed was requested, specifically nsicacheentryinfo.expirationtime.
... if no information was provided by the server, the default expiration time is 1 hour.
... users can modify the default expiration time via the <tt>browser.bookmarks.livemark_refresh_seconds</tt> preference, which indicates the expiration time in seconds.

Component Internals
as this section and the next describe, you can register your component explicitly during installation, or with the regxpcom program, or you can use the autoregistration methods in the service manager to find and register components in a specified components directory: xpinstall apis regxpcom command-line tool nsicomponentregistrar apis from service manager the registration process is fairly involved.
...the first is to use xpinstall, which is an installation technology that may or may not come with a gecko application and provides interfaces for registering your component during installation.
... a gecko embedding application may also provide its own way of registering xpcom components using the interface that is in fact used by both xpinstall and regxpcom, nsicomponentregistrar.
...at last count there were over 1300 interfaces defined in xpidl.

Using XPCOM Utilities to Make Things Easier
when an interface is written in xpidl, the headers include static declarations of their iids.
... on any interface that is generated by xpidl, you can call ns_get_iid() to obtain the iid which is associated with that interface.
...for example, ns_decl_nsifoo will declare all of the methods of nsifoo provided that it exists and that nsifoo.h was generated by the xpidl compiler.
...interface must be generated by xpidl using the macros described here, the code for the weblock component has gone from around 340 lines of code to just under 40.

... should it be necessary to disable strict transport security, setting the max-age to 0 (over a https connection) will immediately expire the strict-transport-security header, allowing access via http.

Creating a spell check dictionary add-on
packaging a firefox add-on is a zip file renamed to use an .xpi file extension instead of the normal .zip file extension.
... to create a dictionary add-on, simply create a zip file which contains the following files and folders: my-dictionary.xpi install.rdf dictionaries/ locale-code.dic locale-code.aff the .dic and .aff files must be placed in a subfolder named dictionaries within the zip file.
... once you have added these files to your zip file and renamed the file to have the .xpi extension, you can install your add-on in firefox and test it.

Creating a Python XPCOM component
tip: you can achieve a copy of binary of pyxpcom from pythonext; simply unpack xpi and take everything you need.
...registering the interface in the "components" directory, execute : ../xpidl -m typelib -w -v -i /usr/share/idl/mozilla/ nsipysimple.idl on windows you must point to the idl directory as part of your mozilla build.
... for example: xpidl.exe -m typelib -w -v -i c:\source\mozilla\obj-i686-pc-mingw32\dist\idl foo.idl xpidl will then create nsipysimple.xpt, which should be placed correctly (e.g., in the 'components' directory).

Embedding Tips
at startup use the category manager to register properties of the global object in javascript like this: nscomptr<nsicategorymanager> catman = do_getservice(ns_categorymanager_contractid); if (!catman) return ns_error_failure; nsxpidlcstring previous; catman->addcategoryentry(javascript_global_property_category, "my_prop_name", "my_prop_contract_id", pr_true, pr_true, getter_copies(previous)); this will cause a component with the contract id my_prop_contract_id to be lazily created when the my_prop_name is resolved in any javascript window scope.

Addon
for xpi style add-ons, for example, it tests whether the named file was included in the package.

Code Samples
var addonlocation = addon.getresourceuri("").queryinterface(components.interfaces.nsifileurl).file.path; }); accessing file and version information components.utils.import("resource://gre/modules/addonmanager.jsm"); addonmanager.getaddonbyid("my-addon@foo.com", function(addon) { alert("my extension's version is " + addon.version); alert("did i remember to include that file.txt file in my xpi?

Add-on Manager
these will pass an addoninstall instance to the callback, which can then be used to install the add-on: components.utils.import("resource://gre/modules/addonmanager.jsm"); addonmanager.getinstallforurl("http://www.foo.com/test.xpi", function(ainstall) { // ainstall is an instance of addoninstall ainstall.install(); }, "application/x-xpinstall"); the progress of addoninstalls can be monitored using an installlistener.

Fonts for Mozilla 2.0's MathML engine
mathml font selection with css you can get these fonts from the mathml-fonts add-on ; the xpi is just a zip archive that you can fetch and extract for example with the following command: wget https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/latest/367848/addon-367848-latest.xpi -o mathml-fonts.zip; \ unzip mathml-fonts.zip -d mathml-fonts then copy the mathml-fonts/resource/ directory somewhere on your web site and ensure that the woff files are served with the correct mime type.

Introduction to NSPR
a call to pr_waitcondvar may also resume because the interval specified on the wait call has expired.

PRLinger
that is, if any data remains in the socket send buffer, pr_close blocks until either all the data is sent and acknowledged by the peer or the interval specified by linger expires.

PR_IntervalNow
the most common use for pr_intervalnow() is to establish an epoch and test for the expiration of intervals.

PR_Poll
if this time expires without any i/o becoming ready, pr_poll returns zero.

PR_QueueJob_Timer
causes a job to be queued when a timer expires.

Concurrency model and the event loop - JavaScript
here is an example that demonstrates this concept (settimeout does not run immediately after its timer expires): const s = new date().getseconds(); settimeout(function() { // prints out "2", meaning that the callback is not called immediately after 500 milliseconds.
