For a little project over at A880229
What I need is someway for the user to alter the page linked to from the "myspace" link 
After that any help in converting to an "xpi" file appreciated

I haven't looked yet, but I assume they would be only be able to change it locally, i.e. their changes wouldn't affect any other user. That means you're looking at storing the target URL as a string inside a cookie...

Reaading a few newgroup postings, I think any persistant changes made by the User need to be recorded in the RDF file (which I havent got yet, but is needed for conversion to an XPI file).
Key: Complain about this post
