After 8 hours struggle I finally got a mozilla plugin working...
[30.07.2006/evening]
Built a wrapper plugin to allow mozilla to load plugins written in D (without having to translate the whole SDK to D, although HTOD helped alot)

I've found how to make the plugins work in XULRunner - one needs to wrap them in an <iframe /> (possibly <browser />) that loads html file that embeds the plugin (not <html:embed... />)

Now I have some experience with XUL and I am having second thoughts. It is great to define your UI in XML and modify it easily, but all the interfaces are hell. The API just sucks monkey ass - so much coding for so little work done, plus many bugs and slow performance. DWT rocks, but I am not sure if it is alive and D has bugs too...
