Judging by the sources I've found so far, it appears that JAR files are simple ZIP files. You can rename omni.jar to omni.zip > then un-zip it, then inside this folder you can modify the nsLoginManager.js file, then you can again zip the entire folder to omni.zip > rename to omni.jar and you're ready to go! Another option is: rename omni.jar to omni.zip; then open the ZIP archive with your favourite ZIP program, in it, locate the nsLoginManager.js and open it right from inside the archive; modify it and close it; then close the ZIP file. If your ZIP program is intelligent, it will instantly know that there has been some changes done to the ZIP archive and before you close it, it will suggest to re-save it (save changes). Do so. Then rename the modified omni.zip to omni.jar and this modified file should do the trick! If all of the above doesn't help, ask a fellow Mac user or Google... (I have not much experience with Macs, sorry...) :) Well in that case, I am not sure how I can help…

I have tried archiving and applying SFX option to the omni directory and after archiving, changing the compressed directory (now omni.rar) into omni.jar. However, this attempt did not let me start nor give me a crash report when I tried to start Firefox.app I have also tried archiving omni directory into omni.zip and then apply the SFX option, but WinRar would not allow me to do so because it only applies this option to .rar files. Do you have other possible solution? @Michel

So use it to un-pack the file, change inside the nsLoginManager.js file, then re-pack it again. Pack it as *.zip, then simply rename it to *.jar. It should work. Let me know if it helps! :) @Jane:

I have tried compressing it into zip file using iArchiver and Mac's built-in compressor, but Firefox kept giving me a crash report every time I tried to start Firefox.app I did re-packaged the edited omni folder without the SFX option because there is no SFX option in iArchiver nor Mac's built-in compressor. Is the SFX option really necessary? If so, is there any Mac app that has SFX option in its compression? If it is not necessary, then what am I missing? How can I re-package the folder in Mac?
