1322118 - X-Notifier 4.0 can't run userscripts

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(WebExtensions :: General, defect)

Description

[arcadius]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:50.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/50.0
Build ID: 20161129173726

Steps to reproduce:

1. Run Firefox with X-notifier < 4.0, which was based on XUL/XPCOM;
2. In X-notifier, configure some e-mail accounts with userscripts;
3. Run X-notifier >= 4.0, which is based on WebExtension API.


Actual results:

E-mail accounts with userscripts disappeared – they are not supported any more. The page http://xnotifier.tobwithu.com/dp/node/3353 says that 'eval' function could not pass review process of AMO.


Expected results:

Please give advanced users ability to allow to eval() some javascript files in user profile by some add-ons. For example, the setting for X-notifier in about:config may be "xnotifier/*.js".
For add-ons, envelope eval() in a new function which runs eval() for allowed javascript & passes review process of AMO.
