XPCOM components can do anything, there is no sandbox or other security 
measures. For this reason only files explicitly *installed* on the local 
computer can be XPCOM components. (actually, signed code which the user 
granted permissions could probably do this too, but it would be easier 
to simply install what you need.)

Presumably you suspected this since you posted to the n.p.m.xpinstall 
newsgroup rather than n.p.m.xpcom
