Hi ,

I have a web application(CRM) and my clients use it also for the cash register.What I need to do is to create a local file as the cash register's software need's to read from that file in order to print.

Until now i was using this code: 

netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalXPConnect");
    var file = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/file/local;1"].createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsILocalFile);
file.initWithPath(filePath);

Unfortunately with the latest version of firefox this isn't working anymore. What I'm trying now starts like this : 

try{
    Components.utils.import("resource://gre/modules/FileUtils.jsm");
}catch(e){
 alert(e);
}

Anyhow, from the beginning I get this error "Component.utils is undefined" .Any suggestions please?

Thank you.
