My desire was to have venkman start before my extension as it appeared
there was something wrong with my xul file (see below). But apparently
that isn't possible.

Anyway for those interested, I resolved my problem. Turns out that the
MacOS version of FF doesn't seem to handle the <menubar> at line 10 & 28
and if present no buttons are displayed. This xul does work on PC and Linux:

1 <?xml version="1.0"?>
2 <?xml-stylesheet href="chrome://global/skin/" type="text/css"?>
3 <overlay id="sample"
4         xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul">
5         <script type="application/x-javascript" src="chrome://sparkrocket/content/ll.js"/>
6         <script type="application/x-javascript" src="chrome://sparkrocket/content/ajax_queue.js"/>
7         <script type="application/x-javascript" src="chrome://sparkrocket/content/sr.js"/>
8         <script type="application/x-javascript" src="chrome://sparkrocket/content/prefutils.js"/>
9         <toolbaritem id="urlbar-container">
10                 <menubar position="1" id="SparkRocketMenuBar">

12                         <button type="menu"
13                                 id="SparkMenu"
14                                 image="chrome://sparkrocket/content/spark-16x16.png"
15                                 label="Sparks">
16                                 <menupopup id="SparkMenuPopup">
17                                         <menuitem label="SparkRocket" oncommand="sr_goto('http://www.sparkrocket.com');"/>
18                                 </menupopup>
19                         </button>
20                         <button type="menu"
21                                 id="RocketMenu"
22                                 image="chrome://sparkrocket/content/rocket-16x16.png"
23                                 label="Rockets">
24                                 <menupopup id="RocketMenuPopup">
25                                         <menuitem label="No friends to target yet"/>
26                                 </menupopup>
27                         </button>
28                 </menubar>
29         </toolbaritem>
30 </overlay>

If delete the menubar tags and use position in the buttons I get what I
want, two buttons as the first items in the url-container:

1 <?xml version="1.0"?>
2 <?xml-stylesheet href="chrome://global/skin/" type="text/css"?>
3 <overlay id="sample"

7         <script type="application/x-javascript" src="chrome://sparkrocket/content/sr.js"/>
8         <script type="application/x-javascript" src="chrome://sparkrocket/content/prefutils.js"/>

18                                 </menupopup>
