JavaXPCOM cannot do this.  Currently, you can only use JavaXPCOM to 
embed Mozilla (through XULRunner) in a Java application.

You might be able to do it in JavaScript, though.  But I'm not sure what 
interfaces there are to automate the opening of add-ons.  You can try 
asking in the mozilla.dev.embedding or mozilla.dev.apps.firefox newsgroups.

If you need to use Java, you can call Java from JavaScript using 
LiveConnect:
