Embedding Gecko API

nsIWindowCreator

This is a embedder-provided callback interface used by Gecko to create new browser windows in certain specific circumstances, like in utilizing PSM. A WindowWatcher component must also be available, and must be notified of the nsIWindowCreator during application initialization. This interface is not scriptable.

See also: nsIWindowWatcher

Methods
createChromeWindow

Creates a new window. Gecko will/may call this method, if made available to it, to create new windows.
