    Question Hook firefox window to get WM_CLOSE & WM_QUIT

    I'd like to make a DLL, which I inject into firefox upon starting. This DLL would look for thoose two events (WM_CLOSE / WM_QUIT). If it's found, then it executes some code, BUT the main process shouldn't quit, since it would terminate my dll too
    I'm really noobie in C++ and any kind of programming, I'm still learning a lot. I've got no idea how to start. I've already made the injectable DLL.

    I tried to set up a Callback, but obviously it isn't working. Could you help me how could I run my own code before closing the firefox?

    Thanks for the help!

    Sorry, I wasn't clear. It will exit after running my code. I mean I'd like to inject a code before exiting.

    I can't edit anymore, now I'm writing my reason why I want it

    I'd like to encrypt my passwords file with my own algorhytm. I know I can't 100% protect it, but if it's unique, noone will be able to steal them :P [Since it's really easy to decrypt firefox passwords] I wouldn't like to use master password.

    I'd like to clean up things before exit.

    Will be a lot easier to just download the Firefox source, and replace the password file code.

    Or if you can't/don't want do that, create a password manager plugin for Firefox.
