Because I develop xpcom and it works well with firefox 3.6.16. It still can be access in my javascript code. ” they just removed support for scripting with XPCOM (xpt files).”, I don’t agree with it.

I've got the environment setup and building properly I believe, can register the produced dll, but when I try to use it via javascript, the methods/properties don't work. The only call that does seem to work is ".valid". I added some trace statements in the control so I can see it is instantiated, but none of the methods seem to be registered properly. This is on Windows, VS2008, and IE 7/FF3.5. Can you point me in any directions that I could look at to figure out the source of my problem? Thanks!
