How can I update the status messages in Firefox from any thread?

Question

I encountered a problem with updating the status message on Firefox from a Plugin code.

As the documentation says calling NPN_Status works only when called from the main thread. My requirement is to update the status from any thread within the Firefox process.

Any help would be appreciated!

You can't update it from any thread because that would violate some of the threadsafety rules. You will have to proxy your update back to the main thread.
