Add-ons Firefox 24 crash due to recent change in JSAPI

We are facing problem with our Add-ons support for FireFox 24.Firefox is crashing. In earlier approach we was using 'JS_GetGlobalObject' to get global object from docShell. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/SpiderMonkey/JSAPI_reference/JS_GetGlobalObject?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=SpiderMonkey%2FJSAPI_Reference%2FJS_GetGlobalObject

As per given above link- I should use use JS_GetGlobalForObject or JS_GetGlobalForScopeChain instead of JS_GetGlobalObject. I tried both of them and additionally I tried GetNativeGlobal(), GetGlobalJSObject() . but none of them work out. Firefox is crashing in all the cases .

Could anybody help me for this issue? what are required changes need to fix this problem. I have paste code for yours reference.

anderert,

Yes the upgrade may be reversed although it is strongly recommended that you do not do that

May I suggest you start a new thread of your own. If you explain the problems you are having maybe we have a workaround or a solution.

Sorry, but this forum is for Firefox end user support, no for development support.

See if anything here helps you - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox/Releases/24

Also, see this - http://www.mozilla.org/about/forums/#general-development - a listing of the various Mozilla development Mailing Lists, Newsgroups, and Google Groups that Mozilla sponsors.
