I have a Gentoo Linux install with Firefox and Thunderbird. Firefox

How can I install this component manually so that Thunderbird
recognizes it?
I tried installing it myself by copying the files xmlextras.xpt and
libxmlextras.so from my Firefox components directory (which does
have this installed) and running regxpcom.
Then I checked to make sure the components were installed in
xpti.dat, and they are now. But still I get the error XMLSerializer
is not defined from the Javascript console. What am I missing?
PS. Both Thunderbird and Firefox come with their own version of
xpcshell, but I can't get either to recognize any xmlextras
components, even though it does work in the Firefox Javascript
window!
In xpcshell, there are no DOM class info extensions, as that doesn't
use nsGlobalWindow as global object. Or so.
You could try to instantiate the xmlserializer directly by contract
id,
ser =
Components.classes["@mozilla.org/xmlextras/xmlserializer;1"].createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsIDOMSerializer)

Thanks Axel, that seems to work in both xpcshells. In both cases it
returns:
[xpconnect wrapped nsIDOMSerializer]
It also works from my Firefox Javascript window, and returns:
[object XMLSerializer]
But it doesn't work from the Thunderbird Javascript window. This one
returns:
Error: Components.classes['@mozilla.org/xmlextras/xmlserializer;1'] has
no properties
Does this mean I'm missing the bit that maps nsIDOMSerializer to the
name XMLSerializer? If so, how do I go about installing that? All I have
done so far is to copy the files run regxpcom...
I have no clue, but this may really be more of an xpcom question.
Maybe something tricky with static builds?
Axel
