The general consensus among XPCOM developers AFAIK is that a socket is the easiest and usually best choice for this. Just connect to localhost (or 127.0.0.1) and have your component and application communicate over the port of your choice.
Also, if you don't want to use sockets for some reason, you can always look into other IPC methods available on windows (pipes, memory-mapped files, etc.) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of webmagic Sent: Sunday, September 25, 2005 12:32 AM To: [email protected] Subject: How to communicate between FireFox Extension and Windows Applications?
