Firefox Add-on dev , How to use sample code from MDN in Addon Builder

firefox, firefox-addon, firefox-addon-sdk

Solution

On the top of your document put line:

const { Cc, Ci, Cu } = require('chrome');

and instead of `Components.classes` try using `Cc`, instead of `Components.interfaces` try `Ci`.

var bmsvc = Cc["@mozilla.org/browser/nav-bookmarks-service;1"]
                  .getService(Ci.nsINavBookmarksService);

This should work, if not, put link to your public addon or sample of code and link to documentation site.

Problem

I'm using add on builder to build extensions when searching MDN I find interfaces that I can't figure how to call them in online addon builder for example this code ``` var bmsvc = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/browser/nav-bookmarks-service;1"] .getService(Components.interfaces.nsINavBookmarksService); ``` doesn't build and results in XPI error
