You could do that on Windows, although it would be a bit of a hack. I don't think it's something we would consider checking into the tree.

For Windows there is only one window (the main desktop window that

that.

It's actually what I do on Linux. A plugin that reparents an existing window.
Is that possible with Windows and Mac?

Subject: Reparenting a XulRunnner window in a Firefox Window

The Firefox OS Simulator is a XulRunner instance run
from Firefox. Two processes, two windows, two different
version of gecko.

It would be very useful if we could display the simulator
as part of Firefox. Inside a tab.

With Linux, we could use XReparentWindow [1].
I don't know about Windows and Mac.

Any idea if this is something doable with Windows and Mac?
Would there be any better approach?
