sometime back in 1999 I saw a post that planned to replace resource: with
the res: protocol
eg res://<root>/<path>
1. did this happen and are following roots valid?
The resource: protocol is this protocol. Currently the following keys are
supported by default:
resource:/// (empty root) == application directory
resource://gre/ == GRE directory (or app directory if not using a GRE)
resource://app/ == XUL application directory (if running a XULRunner app)
ProgramDir
CurrentDir
TempDir
ComponentsDir
SystemDir
No, and there is no plan to support these for security reasons. In
particular "tempdir" would open up serious attack vectors. Why would you
need these anyway? If you are privileged code you can get these from the
directory service directly.
