I'm not sure what you mean because as best I understand it, the Selenium Firefox driver is an extension and thus runs in the same process space as Firefox itself. If you're looking for a closer binding between your automation code and Firefox, you can take a look at our new automation mechanism called Marionette that uses the WebDriver protocol to drive Firefox. (Marionette is wired inside Gecko in order to make this kind of automation easier).

Hope that helps,

possible to embed gecko in a process and drive it/interact with its DOM 
directly via xpcom?

thanks.
