We would like to be able to support file downloads from certain non-chrome sites, but according to the documentation here ( https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/XUL/Tutorial/Open_and_Save_Dialogs ), the file picker only works from chrome URLs. Is there a way to bypass this restriction for certain http hosts?
