Inherits from: nsISupports Last changed in Gecko 2.0 (Firefox 4 / Thunderbird 3.3 / SeaMonkey 2.1)

Implemented by: @mozilla.org/widget/hapticfeedback;1 as a service:

var hapticFeedback = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/widget/hapticfeedback;1"]
                     .getService(Components.interfaces.nsIHapticFeedback);

Once you have the service, you can initiate haptic feedback (that is, cause the device to vibrate, if it's supported) by calling performSimpleAction():

hapticFeedback.performSimpleAction(Components.interfaces.nsIHapticFeedback.LongPress);

Method overview

void performSimpleAction(in long isLongPress);
