Hello All,

I am working on a web testing tool which would uses xulrunner (and
thus gecko) to run the tests.
It is all very fine; the test is being driven via SWT [1]

The browser (not exactly, Gecko to be precise)  launches very nicely
and executes the tests.
I would need some firefox extensions to be loaded at runtime so that
the web application can be debugged. most importantly firebug [2]

So basically the launch proceeds like this

- SWT launches the SWTBrowser [3] component.
- SWTBrowser makes use of xulrunner to start up a gecko instance.
- Firebug is somehow embedded into the xulrunner instance and is
available to the user
- The user, if so wishes, stops the application via breakpoint
somewhere. and brings up firebug to debug the application.

Is this possible?
If so, how do I go about doing it?
