Hi Damien,
Thanks for the information.
Did you got this to work ? If so, please tell me the steps you did to
install this .
I am facing problem on this way too .
Is there any other way to install the component (through XPInstall ?).

Hi Srinivasa,
I was having exactly the same problem as you
i.e. I'd written an XPCOM dll that worked with Mozilla but couldn't get
it to work with Firefox.
Anyway I think I've found the solution. All you
need to do is "touch" (open, save and close) the file called .autoreg
in the C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox folder (i.e. the folder where
the firefox.exe file is). After you do this restart firefox and your
dll is registered.
Unfortunately I have no idea how this works :)
Do
you (or anyone else out there) know exactly what is happening here i.e.
what gets updated and where so that firefox now loads my dll. I noticed
that a compreg.dat file _is_not_ being created so where is the
registration info being stored? is it in the MS registry somewhere?
I would like to know this as I need to do a lot
more work on my dll and debugging, etc. will be easier if I understand
what's going on.
BTW - I discovered this .autoreg file touching
thing from this posting by Doug Turner.
Thanks,
Damien
Hi all,
I have registered XPCOM component with Mozilla Firefox.
I have also registered for xpcom-startup notification with
CategoryManager, but didn't get the notification while Firefox starts
up.
I have already posted the similar question earlier, but not successful
with the answers i got .
The same component works well with Mozilla 1.7.3.
Please tell me how to get the startup-notification ?
Thanks & Regards
Raghavan
