A while ago I opened an issue in bugzilla to ask for installing xpcshell into the device . At least on debug mode.

That will allow to write portable system services in js. On Jul 15, 2013, at 19:08, Alex Keybl <[email protected]> wrote: > Just a note for others to keep in mind while having this discussion.
