Hi Christian, Doh! Sorry about that. So is an XPCOM component an 'add-on'? Am I right in saying that an add-on and an extension are the same thing? i.e. they "plug into" mozilla and add new functionality to the browser? Do you know if there is a similar scheme for XPCOM components as there is for plugins. That is, a scheme whereby the component can be installed prior to the browser, but still work with the browser if the browser is installed later? (obviously without the user knowing or having to do anything to get the component to work with the newly installed browser).
