I have found a big problem with Firefox 3. The line storage = globalStorage[location.hostname]; results in a security exception when the application is NOT launched through a web server but instead I simply doubleclick on a local file. Of course location.hostname is an empty string in my case. Any idea what should be used instead of location.hostname? I have tried 'localdomain', 'localhost.localdomain', path to my htm file, folder name of my htm file - nothing works and I always get a security exception (I placed try/catch block around the assignment). Please help. I like your LockBox storage solution but … I have found a big problem with Firefox 3. The line
