serial-port

Hi everyone.

From what It seems mozilla plataform was designed to be used focused in web development (browsers, e-mail clients, instant message...).

I want to use Mozilla plataform to develop desktop applications that need most access to computer serial port and some applications that have nothing to do with web. Im considering mozilla because its multi-plataform and easy to extend using themes and extensions.

Is it possible to program a serial terminal for example using mozilla? Does mozilla have any class ou framework that do this job or I`ll have to code for windows API?

Thank you!
