Hi,
is it possible to install an XPCOM component and use it
on-the-fly WITHOUT restarting the browser? Maybe there is
some magic interface one can implement?
I prepared a test case based on the scriptable npsimple plug-in at
http://www.cycosys.com/tt/nn6-plug/
The install log looks fine but I can't use the plug-in without
a browser restart:

In the good old days of SmartUpdate I was able to install a
scriptable plug-in and use it without restarting the browser.
Is XPI making a step backwards?
