Hi,
I am having some issues and hope project owners have experienced
something similar and found reasonable workarounds.
SCENARIO
A Firefox extension that opens a modal window, with Flash content
embedded. That window in turn opens another window with a browser for
web content. The browser window is sized to only fill some of the screen
space to allow viewing and access to the flash content under. Note that
putting the flash and web content in a XUL stack is not an option
because the web content gets distorted.
ISSUES
1) On Windows I can use the 'dependent' flag with window.open/openDialog
when opening the web window. This allows me to click Flash content while
keeping the web content on top.
However on Mac, 'dependent' is not functional (by design), nor
alwaysRaised. Is there any workaround to make the 2nd window stay on top
while allowing click access to the window under?
2) (Windows) The Flash window should be modal when opened, but using the
modal flag means it is only modal to the opener. Other windows can be
accessed still. Is there any way to make a new window modal to *all*
open Firefox windows?
3) Modal works even different on Mac ... it is modal *system side* and
does not allow access to any open applications. But you can still access
their menus. In my new window, can I override the Firefox menubar and/or
the menubar of other applications?
3) window.fullscreen is not implemented on Mac.

Any ways to emulate it? Or failing that, disallow click on the menu or
dock? Or some other reasonable solution?
Thanks,
- Brian
