Unlike IE, Mozilla uses some XML files for adding the toolbar. All info related to developing extensions for mozilla can be found at http://developer.mozilla.org/[^] For adding toolbar, you may want to see following - http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/XUL_Tutorial:Toolbars[^] I hope this helps.

To Err Is Human; to Debug, DivineHi Sohail, Thank you for ur valid information. Actually I have made an IE toolbar using vc++ ATL COM. It cotains Threads, And many things that mfc supports. For example, It consists of a Ticker that shows some information from a server. The ticker is actually a class inherited from CStatic. And also Threads in VC++ , that performs various functionalities like, Collecting data from Server. Showing Advertisements live , from different sites etc. So I think, I cant perform these things in Mozilla tool bar made from XML. Right na. Thanks George

well you can certainly do in Mozilla what you have so far created in IE. From what you said, I beleive your UI logic and Business logic are clubbed together and created only for IE. If you seperate out the UI logic of toolbar in your IE and put the business logic in a seperate COM dll which is callable from the UI logic then you can invoke the same business logic from within Mozilla toolbar. The UI logic of toolbar is written in XML but there is a way to call COM interface methods. Mozilla also has something called XPCom - COM variant.
