It's possible but tricky to do at present. One way is to write a C++
XPCOM object implementing an interface such as nsIObsever and publish it
as a service when your embedding app starts. Then write some chrome that
sits between the embedding app and the content and which contains the JS
that calls it by querying for the service and calling methods on the
interface.
I have raised bug 86421 to discuss whether this could be made simpler
for embedders..
