Found the problem on the MAC OS X. This does not happen on Windows with the
same version of NEtscape (7.02). This is the code that blows up and causes
an unhandled exception to be generated.
// Interface change - ns7 (mozilla 1.0) needs nsIIOService, latter (mozilla
1.2) needs nsIFileProtocolHandler
if(Components.interfaces.nsIFileProtocolHandler)
{
var fileHandler =
ioService.getProtocolHandler("file").QueryInterface(Components.interfaces.ns
IFileProtocolHandler);
var myFileUrl = fileHandler.getURLSpecFromFile(fileRef);
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< blows up right here!!!!!!!!!!!!!
}
else
{
var myFileUrl = ioService.getURLSpecFromFile(fileRef);
}
