A new startup within Microsoft is incubating a collaboration platform that exposes some functionality to the web. We're committed to supporting multiple browsers and are currently searching for someone to develop a FireFox plugin. Part of our platform exists as a scriptable COM object (ActiveX control) - we need to expose this functionality through a FireFox plugin. The plug-in requirements are as follows: - Supports the same interface as the ActiveX control - Behaves the same as the ActiveX control - Passes all ActiveX control events to client JavaScript that has the FireFox extension loaded - Supports an upgrade scenario that will not require the FireFox browser to close - Handles errors correctly and in the same manner as the ActiveX control does - Functions correctly on XP SP2 and Vista - Functions correctly on FireFox version 2.0 and above Our team is great bubble within Microsoft that has a grand vision of cross-platform collaboration. This should be a straightforward project for anyone well-versed in COM and XPCOM. Please contact me directly for further details on the project and time-line.
