XPCShell was created along with XPConnect, and provides the Components 
property on the global object along with various utility functions. You 
can access most of the Mozilla components through the Components property.

XPCShell documentation can be found here -> 
http://www.mozilla.org/scriptable/XPCShell.html

You can find out more about the Components property here ->

And other XPConnect/scriptable things here ->
