The C++ source has access to the browser script source through nsIBrowserDOMWindow. It is intended to be attached to the chrome DOMWindow of a toplevel browser window (a XUL window). A DOMWindow that does not happen to be a browser chrome window will simply have no access to any such interface.

OPEN_DEFAULTWINDOW = 0
Open in the "current window". If aOpener is provided, this should be the top window in aOpener's window hierarchy, but exact behavior is application-dependent. If aOpener is not provided, it's up to the application to decide what constitutes a "current window".

OPEN_CURRENTWINDOW = 1
Open in a new window.

@param aWindow the window to test.
@return whether the window is the main content window for any
currently open tab in this toplevel browser window.

Load a URI
@param aURI the URI to open. null is allowed. If null is passed in, no
load will be done, though the window the load would have
happened in will be returned.
@param aWhere see possible values described above.

@param aContext the context in which the URI is being opened. This
is used only when aWhere == OPEN_DEFAULTWINDOW.
@return the window into which the URI was opened.
