I can't answer this question, but there are still an awful lot of web pages
which utilize the <object class="{...clsid...}"> tag to embed various
objects.  Is it possible to re-write your plug-in as a COM object which can
be embedded?

(Personally, I think the COM solution is a superior one anyway, but that's
just my opinion.)

Mozilla will become stable only after I'm old and grey.  And I'm only 24
now.  I don't have much faith in Mozilla -- the codebase is just plain too
big and too complicated.
