trick: XULrunner live inside firefox now

[sduclos]

Hi,

And the start up is a lot faster!

So my shell script file is now:

$ cat withconsole.sh
#!/bin/bash

#xulrunner application.ini -jsconsole
firefox -app application.ini -jsconsole


I didn't see any down side, like javascript incompatibility.

Firefox does complain about a SyntaxError in xuljet lib loadDeps.js:

Timestamp: 12-10-09 05:20:42 PM
Warning: SyntaxError: test for equality (==) mistyped as assignment (=)?
Source File: chrome://myapp/content/lib/loadDeps.js
Line: 52, Column: 38
Source Code:
    while (part = relPathParts.shift()) {


But that construct seem pretty idiomatic .. sound like a false positive to me.

Hi Sylvain,

Thanks for sharing. I'll try it. I'm not sure if the behavior is the
same for latests Firefox versions but when I tried to run XULRunner
applications with Firefox this way, there were some small problems
with profiles and security restrictions.

Hi Pavel,

OK thanks, there is also something to watch for when firefox
a instance is already running. For example the jsconsole log get confuse.
But I don't thinks it's a xuljet problem.
