Now that remote XUL (XUL from websites) has been killed in Firefox 4, what is the JAR-protocol support for? Is it still worth having a white list for it or wouldn't a simple on/off checkbox be enough?
BTW, the sample URL https://samples.noscript.net/sample_apps.jar does not work (samples.noscript.net not found).

You can package a whole HTML site in a JAR, if you want, and pull all your resources from there.
It was a fake URL, in fact, just a sample to check regular expressions syntax against.dhouwn wrote: BTW, the sample URL https://samples.noscript.net/sample_apps.jar does not work (samples.noscript.net not found).

You could, but AFAIK in-the-wild it wasn't used for anything different.Giorgio Maone wrote:The JAR protocol is supported by Firefox independently from remote XUL.
