Subject: [Project_owners] Stronger Hash Support for Secure Installations and
	Updates
Message-ID: <4A2425DE.7010307@silfreed.net>

Ever since released [1] our file release system [2] (including secure updates
and installations of .xpi files) we've planned on improving the support of
hashes. We didn't originally realize that md5 was no longer on the list of
hashes [3], and with sha1 having its own share of problems recently, the need
for stronger hashes was increased.

So finally we have dropped support for md5 as well and support only the
stronger hash mechanisms (sha1, sha256, sha384, and sha512). We still
auto-detect the hash type by the length of the hash submitted in the file
management tool, so the procedure is exactly the same. Any existing md5
hashes are still in our system and presented by our secure install links but
are considered deprecated.

Subject: [Project_owners] Q.: how can trusted chrome code assert its
	security privileges in FF?
Message-ID: <719dced30906020811x3e24879du333e5d68b4393616@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

I'm wondering if anybody could provide pointers to documentation, or
insight, about FF's security model.

Specifically, I'm being faced with the problem in which JS code
running in a sandbox calls a JS function defined by extension/chrome
code, but FF's security manager appears to apply the security policy
that governs the subject of the sandbox. In the specific case, a call
to XPath's evaluate function fails with a security error because the
document being operated one was retrieved from a different origin that
the origin associated with the sandbox.

My question: does Firefox's JS have something similar to
AccessController.doPrivileged() [1] that would allow trusted chrome
code to assert its privileges when being called from untrusted sandbox
code? If not, how is it possible to provide controlled access to
functionality that requires the system principal to untrusted code?

Thanks,

 - Godmar

Subject: [Project_owners] Update Your Project's Website with Edit-in-Place
Message-ID: <4A256185.5010200@silfreed.net>

Edit-in-Place [1] has been available for a couple weeks to new projects, but
we wanted to make sure all existing project owners were aware of the feature.

This allows you to update your project web site without having to deal with
CVS yourself.  All your changes are still committed to CVS like usual, we just
do it for you.

We're using the great mozile editor [2] to accomplish this.

This will most likely only work if you're using the default Mozdev styling and
hasn't been tested with projects that have extensive modifications to their
layout or are "serving as-is" or with "nowrap".

Check it out [1] and let us know what you think!

Which URL?

For most Mozdev things you use your CVS username and password; bugzilla and
mailman have their own logins.  If you don't remember this password please
contact us via the feedback page [1] (there's a link for filing a bug for
mailman problems).

Your mailing list admin password is the same as your CVS password. Took me a
while to figure that out too.

Yes it works but I cant find how to change the cursor position!

here is a example, in this example I want to change the position of cursor
to second char, but it doesn't work

<pre id="editor1" contentEditable="true" onclick="
selection = window.getSelection();
range = selection.getRangeAt(0);

startNode = document.getElementById('editor1');
startOffset = 2;
range.setStart(startNode, startOffset );
">editor 1</pre>

any idea ?

also is there any function to tell me the current location of cursor ?

Thanks

Message-ID: <a3ea80a90906080510w75df127fi1f1c7fd5a7301dd@mail.gmail.com>

I'm looking for a way of injecting an untrusted HTML string into a chome
iframe.
The best solution I've found is nsiWebBrowserStream. Unfortunately I'm
having trouble locating an object that implements this interface..

Following the tips from
http://markmail.org/message/iomvz6utug6brxbo#query:nsiwebbrowserstream+page:1+mid:akezl4i2ymotjmwk+state:results
(inside a Venkman interactive session)

i=window.QueryInterface(Components.interfaces.nsIInterfaceRequestor).getInterface(nsIWebNavigation)
i.queryInterface(nsIWebBrowserStream)

Gives:
ReferenceError: nsIWebBrowserStream is not defined


Does anyone have any tips for how to get a handle on this interface?
Or is there a better way of injecting untrusted HTML into an iframe?

Thanks

Sorry all, I previously copied the wrong lines from my debug session.
The example above should read:

i=window.QueryInterface(Components.interfaces.nsIInterfaceRequestor).getInterface(nsIWebNavigation)
[xpconnect wrapped (nsISupports, nsIWebNavigation, nsIDocShellTreeItem)]

i.QueryInterface(Components.interfaces.nsIWebBrowserStream)
[Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004002

I needed to do something similar. I assume you want to prevent security 
bypasses from the untrusted content.

My eventual solution was far from elegant but worked OK: to create a 
"data:" URL containing the encoded form of the document, then to use 
document.getElementById("xxx").webNavigation.loadURI with that URL.

This might also be of help:

Perfect - thanks Matthew, that is exactly what I was looking for.
I'd highly recommend that article to anyone wanting to display
untrusted content in an extension.

It was also copied to MDC, which I guess is probably a better place to 
look going forwards:

Subject: [Project_owners] Wiki upgrade plans
Message-ID: <4A3052EF.2080309@silfreed.net>

I've been working on bug#18975 [1] trying to make wiki editing easier.  Our
interpretation of that is:
1) using HTML for markup instead of "wiki syntax" (ie, not Mediawiki, the
Text_Wiki syntax we were using, or Doku wiki that MDC switched to)
2) Add a featureful WYSIWYG editor to make editing HTML content easier
3) Maintain an easy way for linking to other pages

Our progress on this can be found on our dev server; an example page is here:
http://www.vebzom.org/drupal/wiki/MozdevDocs

A snapshot of data was made today and most projects' wikis were upgraded on
our dev server.  Please check it out and let us know what's broken or you
like/don't like.

A few notable changes/improvements:
* CamelCase words are no longer linked.  You must link via [[Square Brackets]]
to pages
* Table of Contents are added via an HTML comment: <!--tableofcontents-->
* Geshi code highlighting is only supported by editing the source and adding a
<blockquote> tag

That's all I can think of right now; let us know what you think!

Hi

I need to get a url's content from JavaScript, currently I use
XMLHttpRequest but at this time I want to get the content from a proxy
server, for example I want to get a www.google.com content but not from
direct connection but from a local proxy server (127.0.0.1:3244), Is there
any way to get a url's content from proxy server without changing FF's
global proxy ?

Thanks

Is it possible to use a nsIURI build with the proxy as the "host+port"
part, and your target URL as the "path" part, like I can do throught
HTTP ? If yes, you may replace use of XMLHttpRequest by use of  the
nsIHttpChannel interface (see
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/nsIHttpChannel) with that build
nsIURI ...

Subject: [Project_owners] System Fonts
Message-ID: <4A35F7FF.6010002@yahoo.com>

I am looking for an easy way to get system fonts and sizes for 
explicitly setting box sizes within a stack to dynamically accommodate 
various native OS's.  Are there any shortcuts or global variables 
available within the Mozilla framework to reference this information?

I could probably create a piece of dummy text with no formatting and get 
numbers from there, but I'm hoping for something more elegant.  I also 
don't want to redraw everything 3 times!

I could also use something similar for getting scrollbar widths.  I have 
a workaround for this, but it's not particularly elegant.  Basically I 
get the width of the content within the scrollbox, then scroll to the 
end, then get the new start position of the scrolled content, on both 
axes.  A little addition and subtraction does the rest.  It does the 
job, but it ain't pretty.

Thanks,
Joe B

It's not clear what you're trying to do, but maybe you could add an 
extra layer to your stack (but with visibility: hidden; so that it 
doesn't paint) that includes your dummy text which will cause it to be 
the correct size.

> I could also use something similar for getting scrollbar widths.

Perhaps you could include a xul:scrollbar element in your document and 
measure that?

If you work in "em"s this may be a piece of cake. For e.g. 1em is the
default font size (irrespective of pixels or whatever OS or user setting. If
the user has chosen the default font to be 14px then 1em = 14px). and a
width or 1 em will be the size of the letter "m" (in the default font/size).
Not an expert in typography but read this for more
http://jontangerine.com/log/2007/09/the-incredible-em-and-elastic-layouts-with-css.
Either ways reading that article is a must for any web programmer/developer.

Hope this helps.

"em's" did the trick for setting the box sizes.

Regarding the scrollbox, there is no property to give you the width of 
the box minus the scrollbars.  My interface is a gantt chart view for 
sunbird/lightning.  It uses three scrollboxes to provide a "header" at 
the top and left of the main scrollbox.  The top header (with dates) is 
sync'd to the horizontal scroll position of the main box, and the left 
header (with event/task titles) is sync'd to the vertical scroll of the 
main box.  The effect is similar to using "freeze panes" in excel.

The "header" scrollboxes need a spacer element at the end of their 
content that is the same width as the scrollbar in the main scrollbox in 
order to keep all of the content aligned between the two boxes.  So I 
have to set the width (or height) of these spacers dynamically based on 
the system scrollbar widths.

I think that if xul elements had a "ScreenWidth" and "ScreenHeight" 
property giving the width/height currently visible onscreen (similar to 
ScreenX and ScreenY), you could calculate this more easily.

Thanks,
Joe B

Why not use an invisible scrollbar?

*</script>*
*<label id="workingThread" value="workingThread" onclick="*

Why when I press "workingThread" more than 3 or 4 times then FF closed?

Any Idea?

Yeah, scrollcorners rely on the scrollbars to give them their size.

That depends what you are building. Try using HTML, CSS and Javascript.

Subject: [Project_owners] CVS Troubles
Message-ID: <680016.58200.qm@web58007.mail.re3.yahoo.com>


Hello and thanks in advance for your help...

It has been a while since I needed to update my project's files. I use 
WinCVS and am NOT very astute with it. I also recently had to update my 
project's password. So I changed it (as best I could) in WinCVS. I find 
that the login command seems to work (exit code 0). But when I try to 
update or commit a file, I get error code 1 and the following message:

cvs [update aborted]: authorization failed: server mozdev.org rejected 
access to /cvs for user whitedavidp

Can anyone help me to discover what I am doing wrong here?

Cheers!

But the latest version of my extension has a Firefox maxversion of 3.7,
at least the version on Mozdev.

The WinCVS UI is extremely opaque. You can actually type cvs commands in
the I/O pane at the bottom half of the screen. Try to manually login
there first.

On the other hand I think you need to point to the subdirectory where
your project lives and not the root of the mozdev CVS server.

Thanks for the response, Phil.

When I simply login, I get success (or at least a 0 error code) with:

cvs -d 
:pserver;username=whitedavidp;password=xxxxxx;hostname=mozdev.org:/cvs 
login
Logging in to :pserver:whitedavidp at mozdev.org:2401:/cvs

***** CVS exited normally with code 0 *****

So it seems like the authentication works when pointing at the /cvs 
path. But the update gets a non-zero result code:

cvs update -P -- index.html (in directory 
D:\ThunderbirdBiff\MozDev\thunderbirdbiff\www)
cvs [update aborted]: authorization failed: server mozdev.org rejected 
access to /cvs for user whitedavidp

I am frankly stumped here. Any help is appreciated.

David

We may have culled the information a while before the mails went out / 
before you updated.

I bumped the number as soon as trunk went to 3.6a1pre.

I didn't realize that anything greater than "3.5.*" was supported, so that's
why you got it.

If you have any good resource for getting "valid" version numbers, I would
greatly appreciate it for projects like this in the future.

Note: My long standing practice for my "developmental" builds is to use
some fake significantly larger number so I don't have to constantly
adjust the maxVersion. I assume that someone using cutting edge versions
hot off the CVS (or Hg) repository knows the risks he or she is taking.

This webpage is dynamically generated so it should always reflect the
latest that mozilla considers "valid". For the lesser known software
(like SeaMonkey) listed you sometimes have to file a bug to get them to
add the latest version numbers.

<https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/pages/appversions>

Note that this only lists the "products" that mozilla officially
supports so for e.g. Flock, Songbird, Postbox, Spicebird, etc you can
put *any* max version e.g. 99.999 and AMO will happily accept them.

Thanks for this resource; maybe I'll file a bug for an RSS feed for this page
so it's easier for other developers to consume it.
