Hi,

At the moment you can use it only for embedding. That is -
roughly speaking - putting mozilla into a java application.

The other direction (i.e. java components running in mozilla)
is not ready yet. 
See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=299263

Except of some implementation details, two steps are required to 
complete that:
1) Merge the code into mozilla, so that it becomes part of the xul-runner.
Then you could write java components for xul-runner based applications
2) Wait until firefox will run on top of xul-runner - afaik Q1/2007.
Then you can have java-implemented extensions for FF.

I do not know what you exactly need, but nowadays you can still write 
a javascript extension which contains a java applet with your code.

best regards,
Michal
