hi , I am using FireFox 12 to test my application. My application is fetching file path to perform some validations.

In js file i have added following parameter and it is working fine with prior FF12 version netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalFileRead");

If i use alert('UniversalXPConnect = '+ netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalXPConnect")); parameter then i can get file path in JS file.

Please help.

You probably need to sign your script.

A good place to ask advice about web development is at the MozillaZine "Web Development/Standards Evangelism" forum.

The helpers at that forum are more knowledgeable about web development issues.

Hi,

I have the same inconvenience with a Web product (Documentum) since I have upgraded my Firefox to the version 12.

I have tried with no success to override UniversalFileRead privilege directly in the browser preferences located in my Firefox user profile (pref.js) as proposed in this thread: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/components/jssec.html (or this one: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/components/per-file.html)

Is there any additionnal ideas to bypass this restriction?

Thanks in advance.
