Showing non-modal popup in overlay of browser.xul - on Windows
Hi. I've got a custom Firefox add-on in plain Javascript. It to overlays Firefox's browser.xul (via chrome.manifest) by an XUL file, where I would like to show a non-modal popup (or some kind of non-intrusive notification).
I've tried following three options from https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/Code_snippets/Alerts_and_Notifications:
1.
Components.classes['@mozilla.org/alerts-service;1'].
getService(Components.interfaces.nsIAlertsService).
showAlertNotification(null, 'Some title', 'Some message', false, , null);
2.
var win = Components.classes['@mozilla.org/embedcomp/window-watcher;1'].
getService(Components.interfaces.nsIWindowWatcher).
openWindow(null, 'chrome://global/content/alerts/alert.xul',
'_blank', 'chrome,titlebar=no,popup=yes', null);
win.arguments = [null, 'Some title', 'Some message', false, ];
3. var message = 'Another pop-up blocked'; var nb = gBrowser.getNotificationBox(); var n = nb.getNotificationWithValue('popup-blocked'); if(n) {
n.label = message;
} else {
var buttons = [{
label: 'Button',
accessKey: 'B',
popup: 'blockedPopupOptions',
callback: null
}];
Neither of them works on Windows. The first two work on Linux (Fedora 20 x64). Neither of them generates any error either.
Please, suggest how/where to do that, or how to 'schedule it' (as an even handler to a system event, I suppose) from my overlay of browser.xul.

By Windows I mean Windows 7 Professional x64, Service Pack 1.
I think you would have a better chance of getting comments from experienced add-on developers on one of these sites:
