869754 - Lightweight themes doesn´t work with URL like "resources://".

Status: RESOLVED INACTIVE

(Toolkit :: Add-ons Manager, defect)

Description

[dogcalas]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.2; WOW64; rv:20.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/20.0
Build ID: 20130326150557

Steps to reproduce:

I am creating an addon, that allows users to save a lightweight theme(save header and footer images in data folder), and lets users to install the theme in a browser without internet access.


Actual results:

I set the preference "lightweightThemes.usedThemes" using the API "sdk/preferences/service". To get the url of header, footer, icon and preview  from data folder I use require("sdk/self").data.url('') that returns "resources://the-rare-id/data/". The theme appears as installed but doesn´t work. Only is seen the icon and the preview images.


Expected results:

Firefox should accept URL like "resources://the-rare-id/data/" to set the header and footer of lightweightThemes.

Can you attach all of the relevant code for the addon to this bug?

Bug 577606 comment 8 doesn't apply to resource URIs, so it seems like this could/should be solved separately.
