For my current extension I want to read Data from a File in a different thread than the main one. The reason for this is that I have to parse about 5MBit. If I do that at the start up of Firefox in the main thread, Firefox has a delay of 17 seconds, which is way too much.
I thought I could solve this with Workers and javascript code modules but the Workers are forbidden to access the Components, which I need in order to read the file. Therefore I was wondering if there is another way of doing this in order to prevent my extension from delaying Firefox at start up.
Thanks for your support in advance.

Re: Reading File with Worker
