(FFOS Gecko)

1. JavaScript Component

　　(1) add a CustomComponent.manifest

# The {classID} here must match the classID in CustomComponent.js
component {e6b866e3-41b2-4f05-a4d2-3d4bde0f7ef8} components/CustomComponent.js
contract @foobar/customcomponent;1 {e6b866e3-41b2-4f05-a4d2-3d4bde0f7ef8}
category profile-after-change CustomComponent @foobar/customcomponent;1

　　(2)  export a NSGetFactory() function

Components.utils.import("resource://gre/modules/XPCOMUtils.jsm");

function CustomComponent() {
}
CustomComponent.prototype = {
  // this must match whatever is in chrome.manifest!
  classID: Components.ID("{e6b866e3-41b2-4f05-a4d2-3d4bde0f7ef8}"),
  QueryInterface: XPCOMUtils.generateQI([Components.interfaces.nsICustomComponent]),
  /* nsICustomComponent implementation goes here */
  ...
};

// The following line is what XPCOM uses to create components. Each component prototype
// must have a .classID which is used to create it.
if (XPCOMUtils.generateNSGetFactory) {
    const NSGetFactory = XPCOMUtils.generateNSGetFactory([CustomComponent]);
    this.NSGetFactory = XPCOMUtils.generateNSGetFactory([CustomComponent]);
} else {
    // for Mozilla 1.9.2 (Firefox 3.6)
    var NSGetModule = XPCOMUtils.generateNSGetModule([CustomComponent]);
}

　　(3) add to moz.build

# EXTRA_COMPONENTS installs components written JavaScript to
# dist/bin/components
EXTRA_COMPONENTS += [
    'CustomComponent.js',
    'CustomComponent.manifest',
]
