For mac(to limit ui access) you might need to make an xpcom component
that gives you access to this:

For Windows I think you can get some way to locking things up by using
the nsIWindowsRegistryKey:

These might help for something like locking things up for a kid safe
browser.

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,
