Yes. Note that I strongly recommend that you never try to use a "system 
XULRunner". Always ship XULRunner with your code (e.g. in a xulrunner/ 
subdirectory) and look for it in that well-known location. DLL-hell will 
result otherwise.

You haven't initialized the webbrowser yet. I believe that requires 
QIing it to nsIBaseWindow and calling create() (and maybe initWindow() 
before that) on it.
