firebreath

I've just attempted to use Firebreath and have followed their video tutorial for Windows and come across the error that says: Check for working C compiler using Visual Studio 10 -- broken And then says: It fails with following output: Change Dir: And then lists the drive. This happens when running prep2010.cmd. I have found a post about it, but the forums won't let me log in and there is no answer. It's here: http://forum.firebreath.org/topic/274/?page=1#post-1117 and is exactly the same error, I believe. The last post talks about running prep2010 from inside the vs2010 command shell. What

First goes some background about what I am doing with Firebreath. I am developing a rendering viewer plugin in browser by using firebreath. I define two MIME type in my plugin, one is for the main viewer, and the other is for 2D plan view. In each page, only one main viewer is allowed, but can have multiple 2D plan view. And they all share the same model document opened in main viewer. So, after instantiating 2D plan view, I need to pass the document object (a firebreath JSAPI) to the 2d plan view. Then, assume the main viewer and plan view are both loaded named as 'mainviewer' and 'planview',

For example: chrome.extension.getURL('config.txt') will get something like chrome-extension://kfcphocilcidmjolfgicbchdfjjlfkmh/config.txt .

There are two ways you could address this; the first is to simply use javascript to get the path and then pass it into the plugin in a method call. The second is to get the path to the

I have recently developed a NPAPI plugin (using FireBreath) in combination with a Google Chrome Extension. I am embedding the plugin using the background.html page and access it from multiple extension pages. Thus, the plugin remains loaded in the background page (until the extension is unloaded or the browser is closed). I am now searching for the easiest way to port this extension to Firefox. Using the Addon SDK and it's API, i can reproduce the communication between the addon code and HTML user interface. As there is no such global background DOM as in the Chrome Extension, how would I load
