XPConnect is really the best way to go. Without it, you're left with 
using JSClass (JS -> C++) and the JS API (C++ -> JS). That's more work, 
but could be more efficient depending on what you are doing. And, unless 
you built some kind of framework (similar to XPConnect) it wouldn't be 
very general. If there's much interaction, you will have to deal with 
the determinant life times of objects of C++ and the non-determinant 
lifetimes of JS objects. All of this XPConnect would provide.
