Hello,
Is it possible for an XPCOM dll to reside in some other directory
besides the Components directory in the Firefox install folder? I've
successfully registered a component in the Components directory using
regxpcom, and the component functions properly when Firefox runs.
When I attempt to register the component in any other location,
regxpcom indicates that the registration succeeded, but the component
does not function when Firefox starts.
regxpcom is useless in toolkit-based apps. You should probably be
putting your component in an extension and then installing that
extension one of the many ways there is available to install extensions.

Thanks Benjamin. To be clear, are you suggesting that I define the
interface and implement the functionality inside an extension (XUL-type
stuff), as opposed to inside a dll?
By the way, I just finished reading this sentence from
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/xpcom/book/cxc/html/component_internals2.html:
"regxpcom registers your component in the default component registry."
Just prior to that, the article mentions using XPInstall. I'll dig into
that next.
