I'd love to see a bridge between Mozilla's XPCOM and D, so that I could write components in D.  Is anyone out there willing to do this?

Is that related at all to the effort required to build a Mozilla plugin? Because "mozplugged" is "a mozilla plugin that acts as a wrapper to load D plugins".

No, the Mozilla plugin API is completely different.

Bobef has his mozplugged project (which I mentioned in an earlier post), but apparently Mozilla plugins are completely different than XPCOM.

I asked around about this a few months ago, and it didn't look like anyone had done it yet.  You might check out the BCD project on dsource.org and give a crack at it yourself.  It might be that BCD will work for it out of the box.

I'd also be interested in seeing this, BTW.

Don't worry about it. I thought they were similar, too, but Alex told me that they were different.

That might work.  There's only one problem:  I can't really develop it myself right now.  I'm swamped with other things on my plate, and I don't have the time to figure out how to implement a XPCOM binding. That's why I'm asking for someone else to do the nuts & bolts investigation.
