Mozilla XUL LOG - read local files and write local files:
Here is a nice example of Mozilla's XUL including reading and writing from/to
local files.
Save both files locally and load index.xul in Mozilla. You will see a textarea
and 2 tabs. Type text into the textarea, click the save-button and the content
of the textarea is save to c:\mozdata.txt (you can change the location in
the javascript-file). Make sure you have double-backslashes (\\) in the
full-path!
XUL JAVASCRIPT ALL FILES AS ZIP
UPDATE - write the file to the users profile directory
The XUL file (with a textarea, save-button and 2 tabbed HTML-pages):
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="chrome://global/skin/" type="text/css"?>

UPDATE: Platform independent determination of the users profile directory:
Just replace var savefile = "c:\\mozdata.txt"; with the following code:
var savefile = "mozdat.txt";
try {
netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalXPConnect");
} catch (e) {
alert("Permission to save file was denied.");
}
// get the path to the user's home (profile) directory
const DIR_SERVICE = new Components.Constructor("@mozilla.org/file/directory_service;1","nsIProperties");
try {
path=(new DIR_SERVICE()).get("ProfD", Components.interfaces.nsIFile).path;
} catch (e) {
alert("error");
}
// determine the file-separator
if (path.search(/\\/) != -1) {
path = path + "\\";
} else {
path = path + "/";
}
savefile = path+savefile;
