For that matter I couldn't figure out how to build/run the tests with the source tree. I kludged together an xpcom xpi package myself that should get registered so that it can be run from a web page (based on http://www.iosart.com/firefox/xpcom/). It installs ok but the contract ID never gets as far as compreg.dat, even though the IID gets into xpti.dat. I even manually copied the .xpt and .so files into plugins and ran a debugging version of firefox I build from sources (minefield). the .so has a static object that outputs to stderr when created/destroyed - the .so is being loaded. What would solve this is a test that builds something like the http://www.iosart.com/firefox example and packages it into an xpi, installs it and tests for its presence through html/JavaScript.
