Hello, Nickolay, thank you for your mail. I use XPI to install extensions. But the XPCOM component I install the way I know which is copy to components and touch .autoreg. You say it is possible to incorporate it(the XPCOM .dll) in a XPI and install both at once? I didn't know it . Can u please indicate me a link where the procedure is described? Or explain here if it is not too long.
About the different users, I am sorry, I explained wrongly. The user who installed firefox was not present, and I needed to install the component for him. Then I used another user (which has administrator privs), but is not the one who installed firefox. And I noticed that strange behavior that I think (I might be wrong) that is due to different users. For example, in my own pc, everything works fine, because I use the same user (myself). I don't know if I answered your questions. Thanks in advance for your help Cheers, Oliveiros 2007/1/20, Nickolay Ponomarev <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Why don't you install an XPI with the components in the user's profile folder instead? If you have to install the components for all users, then please be more clear as to which user has what privs. Are you saying that the user who installed Firefox, but the user installing components is an administrator? Why is it so?
