469844 - Components.utils.lookupMethod is not accessible from content XBL unlike Components.lookupMethod

Status: RESOLVED INACTIVE

(Core :: XPConnect, defect)

Description

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #467659 +++

I'm opening a new bug with a more succinct summary of the problem since the original bug had some rather confusing comments until the exact problem was identified.

Since Components.lookupMethod is deprecated I thought I'd convert Flashlblock to use Components.utils.lookupMethod instead. Unfortunately I get the following error in the Error Console:

Error: Permission denied for <http://www.bakketun.net> to get property XPCComponents.utils
Source file: chrome://flashblock/content/flashblock.xml
Line: 17

This means that Components.utils.lookupMethod does not behave like Components.lookupMethod in this edge case. We are unable to migrate off a deprecated method until this bug is fixed.
