I don't have experience with MozillaBrowserBot (provided by Selenium),
can you provide more details about what you want to do and what
MozillaBrowserBot is supposed to do?

I have some xpaths.I want to find if objects related to those xpaths are presents or not.I want to do this in my firebug extension.I have tried "doc.evaluate(xpath, doc, null, XPathResult.ANY_TYPE, null);" method.But it didn't work.

Take a look at how Firebug is using the function
https://github.com/firebug/firebug/blob/master/extension/content/firebug/console/commandLine.js#L1098
https://github.com/firebug/firebug/blob/master/extension/content/firebug/lib/xpath.js#L174

It works for Firebug so, it must work for other extensions too.

context.window.document

The 'context' object is passed to many methods in Firebug so,
you should have simple access to it - depends where exactly
you are in the code.

There is also a global Firebug.currentContext, but you should
avoid using it.
