If you absolutely can't avoid it (i.e., you need it for some kind of IPC, or hardware access), please don't use it for anything that requires running in the same address space as Firefox.

You can have a binary blob that's self-contained and that you talk to via ctypes, but it shouldn't be touching nsI*. They can and will change without preserving either source or binary compat and can disappear altogether (e.g. nsIDOMWindow recently changed to not have any methods on it at all). -Boris ___ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform

Re: Where can i download firefox-sdk
As of Firefox 41 we no longer support loading binary components from add-ons.
