i have done to create a add on for chrome and firefox.i did call a firebreath dll in js file.it works fine in firefox 28.But in firefox 33 throws exception to get a firebreath fuction call.after i did check again it in firefox 28.it works.

function ngPlugin() { 

       try
       {

               ngPluginObj = document.getElementById('myfirebreath');
              return ngPluginObj;

       }
       catch (ErrorMessage)
       {

       }

} fuction call:

var retval = ngPlugin().myfunction(TextClass,userId,toUserId,toUserIdLength); the exception is,

TypeError: ngPlugin(...).myfunction is not a function So whats the actual problem?How can resolve this?

note:I already check script loading or not.Script loading.the only problem is NPAPI firebreath dll function calling.

Does Firefox find that element if you run this code in the Web Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer)? 

ngPluginObj = document.getElementById('myfirebreath');

Do you see the add-on enabled in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons"

Yes...its enabled and the ngPluginObj = document.getElementById('myfirebreath') fuction returns object HTMLEmbedElement.

So, it looks that the extension isn't working properly and attaches itself to the links.

Any errors in the Browser Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer) about the extension?

Thanks for your reply.but without firebreath dll call,the extension works fine.And also it works fine in firefox v28 with firebreath calling.Why not working in firefox v33?
