Was trying to get Windows version of eXe working, manage to install and run it on firefox but i trying to open or save or export i always get "Error: A script from "http://127.0.0.1:51235" was denied UniversalXPConnect privileges." type of messages. Either alerts or on the error console. Which renders eXe unusable. I reckoned it's a new firefox version limitation of sorts, so i also tried closing it down and running the internal version stashed away in the eXe install directory and call the http://127.0.0.1:51235 page, but still manage to get the same kind of errors..
Tested with 1.04.1.3590
Tried the ready-to-run after that, but also no luck..
Anyone has any thoughts on how to get this running on Windows? Searching on the internet hasn't done much for me on this regard for the past couple hours :(

You need to launch Firefox with the special eXe "profile" to include the UniversalXPConnect privilege. If the correct Firefox and profile are not being started when you start eXe, edit your exe.conf file to change the "browserPath=…" line to have the correct path to the copy of Firefox bundled with eXe. In a typical install that might be:
thanks for your time.
but i already checked that line on exe.conf and it's correct.
guess the only thing left to try is to wipeout firefox from the system and try again :/ maybe it's conflicting with the most latest installed version or something…

actually, writting this last reply made me wonder to try something out.
that maybe the conflict with the latest installed version of firefox was because i had originally tried launching exe (when i first installed it) while i already had latest firefox open and running. and even though i had closed it down and tried the stand alone bundled version, it probably was already interfering somehow.
so now i tried closing down firefox, and launching exe for the first time since a clean reboot, and it actually worked properly.
so it works for me now. thanks alot for your support.
still worth documenting this issue more clearly in the manual or during the installer somehow me thinks.
thanks again for your help.

I have a similar problem in Ubuntu 9.10, except that there doesn't appear to be an exe-specific firefox anywhere.
Symptom:
* when I start the server, a toolbar-less firefox window pops up with nothing in it.
* when I navigate to http://127.0.0.1:51235/ I get what appears to be a fully functional exe editor
* when I select File/Open in the exe menubar, I get the aforementioned UniversalXPConnect privileges exception.
Suggestions?

Okay, I answered my own question. I created a new firefox called ExeClient. This created the directory ~/.mozilla/firefox/<obscure-code>.ExeClient/. Into this directory I copied the exe javascript preferences ~/.exe/linux-profile:/prefs.js. Then, when I started firefox from the new profile, I got a normal browser. I set the homepage to http://127.0.0.1:51235/, turned off the toolbars and exited. Now when I start firefox from the ExeClient profile, it opens in exe and the file menu works.

Sorry, slip of keyboard: the second sentence should read "I created a new firefox profile called ExeClient"
