This is what we do already; we don't create an XPCOM service until somebody asks for it. Now, I'm not saying that all of our code is perfect about not *asking* for the service until it's needed. But in many cases that's more trouble than it's worth; there are many things we know we'll need during startup, and it's not worth the extra overhead of checking every time if we've already called getService. -David -- 𝄞 L.
