Today, when working on a nsIScriptableScroller interface, I tried adding something like this to toolkit/content/widgets/scrollbar.xml: this.parentNode.scroller = Components.classes[scrollerClass].createInstance(nsIScriptableScroller); When I tried executing this, the script security manager vetoed, saying: JavaScript error: , line 0: uncaught exception: Permission denied to get property XPCComponents.classes I'm not entirely sure this is wrong from a security standpoint, but it would be nice to grant additional privileges to content the user cannot reach by script.
