Hi
I wanted to create a little custom hashing function for server
communication security (hash the username and use that as a password).
For this to work I need my hashing function to be a secret, hidden,
closed source, so one way would be a complicated then obfuscated
JavaScript or a C++ XPCOM component. I went with the second option,
but can't get it to work.
It builds successfully, added to the components sub-folder of my add-
on (the xpt and dll files), also added to the manifest file:
interfaces components/name.xpt
binary-component components/name.dll
My problem is that it seems like Firefox doesn't load it. XPCOMViewer
can't find it, and if I try to get the service from javascript I get
an exception with the following message:
TypeError: Components.classes['@path/name;1'] is undefined
I know this isn't much info, but there are too many program lines
(like the headers of the component), so please request which details
should I post and I'll do it. I appreciate any advice, I'm stuck with
this since ages.
Best regards,

Just realized how I posted this to the worst place possible. Sorry, I
will re-post it to the extension development group.
