I think you need to back up and explain why you're putting a component into the Firefox components/ directory in the first place. This is not recommended: you should ship the component in an extension and either * have the user install the extension * register the extension for global use in the Windows registry [1] * unpack the extension into the Firefox extensions directory (not recommended!) In any of these cases, when Firefox first detects the new extension it will automatically properly register components contained in it. --BDS 1. http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Adding_Extensions_using_the_Windows_Registry _______________________________________________ dev-tech-xpcom mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-xpcom
