I wrote an XPCOM component and an extension that uses it. XPCOM loads arbitrary DLL for its purposes.
How can I include XPCOM and DLL into XPI package?
A:
XPI is basically a zip file, which includes the DLL, among other things See https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Creating_XPI_Installer_Modules

What is your environment? Win/UNix/Mac, Firefox/Thunderbird?THe paths to extension directories depend on that.

I figure with IExtensionManager and IInstallLocation, you can neglect environment differences.

A:
I was able to find absolute path to my DLL via IExtensionManager and IInstallLocation, then load it via LoadLibrary().
- put DLL near XPCOM in my.xpi/components/
- figure out the path to extension via IExtensionManager and IInstallLocation
- LoadLibrary()
- profit
