Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Add-on SDK Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[amitdhiman309]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.2; WOW64; rv:28.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/28.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20140126004002

Steps to reproduce:

var panel = require("sdk/panel");
var data = require("sdk/self").data;

var popup = panel.Panel({
	width: 350,
	height: 200,
	contentURL: data.url("popup.html"),
	contentScriptFile: data.url("old.js")
});



var widget = widgets.Widget({
	id: "Password",
	label: "Secure-Password",
	contentURL: data.url("images/favicon.ico"),
	contentScriptFile: data.url("js/click-listener.js"),
	
	
	onClick: function() {
          if(some_my_flag) {
               popup.contentScriptFile = data.url("new.js");
               popup.contentFile = data.url("new.html");
          }
       }
});


Actual results:

The above code is what i Used .
It is loading "new.html" thats fine. But Old script is still running .
Is there any way to unload "old.js" 



Expected results:

I have overwritten popup.contentScriptFile  But even though old script is running on events .and new script is not working.
according to me new.js should handle the events and old.js should unload from memory .

This does not appear to be reporting a Firefox security bug: unhiding.

Unless I'm mistaken this looks like the Add-on SDK so I'll move the bug. But it also looks more like a help request than a bug report so you might not get much feedback here... I'd try our addon help forums like IRC channels or newsgroups.

there is no property named `contentFile`, you probably meant to set `contentURL` here. check out the documentation at:
