Subject: nsIProcess -- deprecated access to the 'nsIProcess' global
Print | Individual message | Show original | Report this message | Find messages by this author
 From an extension running in FX I need to call TB with special startup
parameters. For that I use

> var go4Process = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/process/util;1"]
>        .createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsIProcess);

> go4Process.run(false, args, args.length);

With the AMO validation report I get:
Warning: Access to the 'nsIProcess' property is deprecated for security
or other reasons.

Is there a need to change that call; what would be the alternative?

I really don't know what this means. Is there a link to more information
or a bug report from the validation report? nsIProcess is really the
only supported way we have to launch new processes (as far as I know).
Although I strongly recommend using the "w" variants, since that is the
only correct way to pass true unicode arguments.
