Add some JavaScript to a XUL file and start up the browser with
the "-chrome" option pointing to the chrome XUL file. The component
should stay around for the life of the browser (unless some additional
JavaScript unloads it). There might be a GC issue but I think you
can load it as a service to get around that.
