I am trying to make a Firefox extension which will use a webservice. I was looking online to find a way to do this. I was wondering if someone could explain what the following objects/methods do:
service.useService(___, ___);
service.<Service Name>.callService();
If there is an alternative that does not include these objects, I would be happy to hear about it.
Thank you very much
It appears you are using IE specific code to call the webservice, and according to this response it may not be supported in newer browsers now:

If you have control over the web service then you can get it to either reply with a JSON or use a REST web service, as well as a SOAP web service, as javascript can work well with REST, or with a form-based (POST/GET) web service, as opposed to SOAP.
