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.

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.
