  XUL library does something very special here? We used SpiderMonkey
engine in our previous project (as separate library, not XUL framework,
but only SpiderMonkey engine), we used precompiled scripts, and
everything works Ok. Even more, ability to do such tricks (like adding
new methods to base/host classes) was requirement for us and
SpiderMonkey was selected instad of MS JScript DLL (customer wanted MS
JScript), because it allows such tricks and they worked very well in
opposite to MS JScript DLL.
  Now I'm programming in XUL environment and have bugs exactly as in MS
JScript! It is very sad :(
