Access firefox preferences with javascript?


s0c0

Recommended Posts

I would like to be able to read firefox preferences using javascript. Is there any way to do this. By preferences I mean the settings when you type

about:config
into your firefox address bar and hit enter. I would like to create a custom preference so I can tell which machine the user is on from my application.

 

I know this is a long shot. If this is not possible is there any other way I can do this? Yes I know we can just define static IP addresses, I was looking for something a bit more elegant though.  I should note that when I say access these preferences with javascript I don't mean via an extension, I mean by regular old javascript.
