Whether or not a non-XUL extension works is very dependent on the  
specific extension and what it uses, so there's no general answer. If  
it's interacting entirely with core components, then it may Just Work;  
on the other hand if it's interacting with higher-level components,  
they may not exist at all in Camino.

If you have a specific part of the extension that's failing, we can  
probably point you in the right direction.
