In Microsoft COM, or more specifically, ATL, the smart pointer class is CComPtr. This class has the same issues with std::vectors as the mozilla one.
ATL provides support for using CComPtrs within STL containers via the CAdapt class. The CAdapt class is quite simple. You could easily implement your own (unless of course such a beast already exists in the Mozilla tree). Please refer to the following MSDN link for more information: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vcmfc98/htm l/vcrefcadapt.asp Hope that helps.
