ok well I have been hunting high and ow for the answer to this and have found nothing promising so far. What I am trying to do is write the equivalent of an MS IE 'BHO', which is an extension that get's loaded into Internet explorer every time IE runs. From there, I want to access the DOM. But I need all this running on Firefox. I turned to XPCOM, hoping that this would offer similar capabilities - and maybe it does, but I have yet to figure it out. I wrote a dummy XPCOM component and got that running in firefox, but the problem is that the component dll only gets loaded into the firefox process space when the component is created - currently I test that using some javascript on an HTML test page. But of course this isn't what I want - I need my extension loaded all the time - and I need to access the DOM of every web page, and I need to listen in on various events such as 'document loaded' and so on ...
could somebody please point me to the api's i'm looking for... 1. BHO-like extensions ... always loaded .. 2. once loaded, how do I listen to browser events? 3. once loaded, how do I get access to the DOM ?
