I have COM DLL(ATL Project) which handles the download dialog in IExplorer. I want that same DLL to work in Mozilla. What do I have to do for this? Is it possible?

A: 

Mozilla and IE are using entirely different plug-in system. Basically you cannot simply do that.

then how to handle download in Mozilla? in iexplorer we have idownload manager interface to handle download dialog. What is the way to handle it in Mozilla?
actually i want to popup my own dialog instead of default mozilla. My dialog will save file on server with some additional feature.
i want that if user click in MOZILLA on any link it will pop of my dialog that handle download procedure.
A: 

Each browser (let us not forget Chrome, Safari, Opera, ...) has its own plugin/extensions mechanism.

You will need to create a different plugin for each browser based on that browser's API.

Perhaps if you explain your "additional features" you want on the file save then a different approach might be possible.
