Multi-platform deployment of a Firefox extension

Question

What is the right solution for multi-platform deployment of a Firefox extension which uses native c++ code? Is it possible to integrate all compiled binaries for different platforms in a single extension? Is it possible to download the only needed binaries (compiled from native c++ code) for the current machine?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Firefox is dropping support for binary components. It says:

Developers who rely on binary XPCOM should update their code as soon as possible to prevent compatibility issues. If you have any questions or comments about this move, please do so in the mozilla.dev.extensions newsgroup.
