Overview of Mozilla embedding APIs
much of the gecko functionality is exposed through a component called the nswebbrowser.
...contract-id: ns_document_loader_service_contractid implemented interfaces: nsiwebprogress nsidocumentloader related interfaces: nsiwebprogresslistener public components nswebbrowser the nswebbrowser is the main embedding component which gecko exposes.

Using XPCOM Components
the webbrowserfind component components are used all over - in high-level browser-like functionality such as nswebbrowserfind, which provides find() and findnext() methods for finding content in web pages, and in low-level tasks such as the manipulation of data.

nsIWebNavigation
inherits from: nsisupports last changed in gecko 1.9 (firefox 3) this interface is implemented by the following components: * @mozilla.org/browser/shistory-internal;1 * @mozilla.org/browser/shistory;1 * @mozilla.org/embedding/browser/nswebbrowser;1 * @mozilla.org/docshell;1 gecko 1.9.2 note in gecko 1.9.2 (firefox 3.6), the @mozilla.org/webshell;1 component no longer exists; you need to use @mozilla.org/docshell;1 instead.
