“This document will contain information on how to create new
components with XPCOM, how to add functionality without XPCOM and
how to embed the Mozilla browser in other applications (either as
an ActiveX control or programmatically). There will also be
information on how to create plugins according to the new XPCOM
interface. Sample code will be included for all cases.”

“We have heard from various people that it is impossible to work
with the Mozilla code. So how did we do it?

The three key items to understanding Mozilla, and being able to
work with it, can be summarized like this:

  • Know what you want
  • Keep focused
  • Find out how data flows through the system
  • Ok, so this is the fourth point, but you need to implement your
    stuff also ;)”
