424753 - Reallow data:-URLs in mozIJSSubScriptLoader

Status: RESOLVED INACTIVE

(Core :: XPConnect, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de-AT; rv:1.8.1.12) Gecko/20080212 SeaMonkey/1.1.8
Build Identifier: 

In PrefBar, I have to call one line of code in the context of "hiddenDOMWindow". To call this one line, I just used a "data:"-URL. Thanks to the fix in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=418356 I have to add a new file to my PrefBar code, just to call this one line. If reallowing data:-URLs would open the hole, fixed in the above bug, again, then just mark this one WONTFIX. If data:-URLs aren't a security problem, then please reallow them.

Reproducible: Always

Instead of insisting to use the mozIJSSubScriptLoader you could also just eval/evalInSandbox your one line in the context of the hidden window (on which you shouldn't rely anyway BTW as it might be going away anytime soon).
