Q, Has anyone tried a firefox extension DLL written in purebasic?

I know the DLL can be written in any language, but i don't quite understand how to do the structure in purebasic.

DLL? Firefox extensions are XPI files, which are just XUL and JavaScripts:

I compile using 5.31 (x86) on Win 7 Ultimate (64-bit).

Oh, hmm, never knew that. I thought they used DLL's too, apparently not! Well, while doing a search around i found a way to run executables in your XPI, now i guess i can just figure out how to embed the exe into the newly opened firefox, and i have an awesome xpi!

Thanks for that,

Hi ..::Origin::..

Can you please post your results here, in case you find something? I would like to know how to create a button inside firefox and start an executable with this button, too.
