However, at certain points our GWT app sends the user to an http:// url. 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? I finally had the time to work up a test app and it almost worked. Apparently the browser download component is what I needed, not the file picker. However, it then popped up an error message about the DTD for the component. Turns out it needed brand.dtd and brand.properties files. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/XULRunner_tips#Branding
