For XULRunner, the extension can either be included as part of the applications extensions folder, using the directory id "pythonext@mozdev.org", where it will also then show up in the extension manager. The second alternative is to extract the pyxpcomext xpi on top of a XULRunner package/installation, where Python then becomes a core part of the XULRunner build.

The Windows build of PythonExt requires both the Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 and 2008 C++ runtime libraries to be installed, otherwise you will receive errors when trying to use a Python XPCOM component, such as:

  TypeError: Components.classes['@twhiteman.netfirms.com/pyShell;1'] is undefined
