Unless I missed something, this is about Adblock Plus supporting the original incarnation of Firefox Mobile, the one with two separate processes for chrome and content. This code is long gone in the current Adblock Plus versions - it was a real pain to support due to lots of unavoidable code duplication. The last version still having it is Adblock Plus 1.3.10. The code in question was explicitly running in Firefox Mobile only. It used messageManager.loadFrameScript() API to inject code into the content process of new tabs - I doubt that it will work the same here, Adblock Plus would probably need to look explicitly for these <browser remote="true"> elements (is there an event when they are created?). Altogether, supporting this in Adblock Plus should be possible - but it will require significant amounts of additional code and introduce quite a bit of new complexity. I also have doubts whether this is work that should receive priority. _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
