Hello Markus, I believe I had the same issue a while ago. There are some issues between versions of the tree. For example I created my XPCOM successfully the way you described using build 1.3. But I was unable to get the same result when I moved the exact same code to Mozilla 1.02 (Netscape build). I found that there are about umpteen different ways to construct the XPCOM interface or if you want it to act as a service or a regular interface. Actually Scott Collins pointed me to a good article on the subject. http://www.mozilla.org/scriptable/components_object.html This is how I had to instantiate my interface for 1.02 build and instantiating on Netscape 7.x. // global var xpcomInterface;
