I recently noticed that my "openwebfolder" extension causes GreaseMonkey
to fail loading user scripts (see
<http://bugzilla.mozdev.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13476>).
This is apparently caused by the fact that identifiers used by both
extensions live in the same namespace, and "openwebfolder" happens to
define a function "getContents", which is invoked by GM.
Question: am I doing something wrong, that is, is there a way to avoid
collisions like that?
This is a known issue, see
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Javascript_coding_guidelines#Avoiding_name_collisions
The reason for this is that all scripts, loaded into a particular
window, share the same scope (while different windows, even two
instances of the same kind, have different scope).
This is reported as a GM bug, but the developers apparently don't
think it is important enough.
