Details

New API plugins have to link with xpcom.lib for calls to methods of class 
nsComponentManager and to resolve link errors due to inclusion of nsCOMPtr.h.  
XPCOM.dll is not available in old browser installations, therefore the plugins 
built against the new API can't be backwards compatible.

I think this can be closed as a dupe of
