title: How to write a C++ FireFox 3 plugin (not extension) on Windows?
body: <p>Could someone write-up a step by step guide to developing a C++ based plugin for FireFox on Windows?  </p>
  
  <p>The links and examples on <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/projects/plugins/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.mozilla.org/projects/plugins/</a> are all old and inaccurate - the "NEW" link was added to the page in 2004.</p>
  
  <p>The example could be anything, but I was thinking a plugin that lets JavaScript set the name and then displays "Hello {Name}".  To show 2-way communication, it could have a property that returns the full salutation.</p>
  
  <p>Though not as important, it would be nice if the plugin would work in Chrome too.</p>
