I only have ssh access to a Mac OSX 10.6 computer, so, Xcode is out of scope. Currently, I have trouble to figure out the right format of g++ output: do I need to append -shared and -fPIC, or -dynamiclib or other magic flag in order to get a firefox recognizable binary?

I use the following:
-dynamiclib-fPIC-arch fooas needed-DXP_MAC=1,-DXP_MACOSX=1etc.-framework UsedFrameWorkas needed-mmacosx-version-min=10.xif needed
Also remember to put it all in a plugin bundle and to include a suitable plist.

thanks! I am relatively new to mac plugin (or mac development in general), can you refer me some links that explain what bundle is here?

Bundles are a directory structure in that your binary and related resources reside - Apples documentation explains it in some detail: http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/CoreFoundation/Conceptual/CFBundles/Introduction/Introduction.html

By the way, if you haven't found it yet, Apple also has a browser-plugin-in overview: http://www.devworld.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/InternetWeb/Conceptual/WebKit_PluginProgTopic/WebKitPluginTopics.html

It should also be noted that you can compile something using xcode from the command line using xcodebuild.
