Host objects when scripting HTML documents in the browser are stuff like 
the document object and its child nodes, mainly what the W3C DOM Level 2 
defines. Most JavaScript books deal with that. Some Mozilla host object 
scripting stuff is for instance explained here:
   <http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/web/library/wa-ie2mozgd/>
If you are scripting Mozilla extensions respectively XUL pages then the 
DOM still applies but you can use XPCOM components which are scriptable, 
this site has tutorials and reference sections:
   <http://www.xulplanet.com/>

Perhaps the above is not what you have in mind but then you need to 
explain in more detail what "to use host objects using Mozilla" is 
asking for, e.g. whether you want to use them from script or from C++ or 
whether you want to implement your own host objects in Mozilla.
