I don't think this is supported anymore. As far as I can tell, if you truly need to call XPCOM from JS in a background thread, you need to do the following: - write extern "C" code that calls into XPCOM; - launch a Chrome Worker from JS; - link JS to your C shared lib through js-ctypes; - call your C code from JS through js-ctypes.
