UniversalBrowserAccess is mentioned on http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/components/signed-scripts.html, which is wrong if it was removed intentionally. You can call enablePrivilege("UniversalBrowserRead UniversalBrowserWrite") for the same effect. (Note the trick of asking for both privs in one call to enablePrivilege: this reduces the number of dialogs you have to click "yes" to.) Here's a working demo of UniversalBrowserRead + UniversalBrowserWrite: <HTML> <head> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> function checkForm() { try { netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalBrowserRead UniversalBrowserWrite"); alert(oneWind.document.forms[0].q.value); oneWind.document.forms[0].q.value = "value set by script"; } catch(er) { alert(er); } } </SCRIPT> </head> <body> <FORM> <input type="button" value="open google" onclick='oneWind=window.open("http://www.google.com.pl","oneWind";)'> <INPUT TYPE="Button" NAME="Go" Value="Show Form" onClick="checkForm()"> </FORM> </body> </HTML>
