It is a plugin i wrote by myself. I wrote an install script for Mozilla 1.7 and it installs correctly in the plugins folder of Mozilla 1.7.

I am also able to install it with the Mozilla XPI installer in Firefox – but I want to add additionally some XUL-GUI in the Firefox style.

I tried to make a Firefox XPI package with install.rdf, … and the plugin installs into the extensions folder of the users profile. The plugin also shows up in the extensions list … but Firefox does not bind the plugin dll on startup (assumption: all plugins have to be in the plugins directory?).

Do you have any suggestions?

Here is the URL of the plugin: http://graphics.ethz.ch/3dwebcontent/surfelviewer/download/installation.html

Thanks,
Sascha

Are we talking about a specific Mozilla plugin?

do you know whether the XPI script for a plugin in Firefox is the same as with an extension. I have a Mozilla XPI and I want to transform it to use it with Firefox. The plugin installs into the user folder (Documents and Settings, …) – the Plugins Folder of Firefox remains empty.

When i load a page which needs the plugin , the plugin dll is not found. do you have any ideas?

thanks

I see no reason why the component loader should try to load .so files under Windows.
