I wrote a DDE component for DocZilla, a Mozilla-based browser. I made
the DDE component an appservice (or something like that, it's been a
while) which means it will be loaded as soon as the application starts.
It recognized some DDE commands (like load etc.). This was pretty simple
to do.
If you want a service that monitors what files are being downloaded (to
look at the file suffix) I am pretty sure there would be some kind of
listener available in necko. Unfortunately I do not know what that would
be, but look at the files in include dir for listeners/observers and
perhaps use LXR.
