This statement asserts that libunity is preferred over the DBus interface: "While the libunity API is stable, the DBus protocol underneath is not. We strongly discourage anyone from relying on it."
If libunity ends up changing, we can expect the soname to change, and so the worst that will happen is that Gecko will fail to find the library and will fall back to current behavior. Even then, it probably won't be too difficult to adjust Gecko for changes in the libunity API. So using libunity sounds fine. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/871325 Title: Implement Unity Launcher API in Firefox for downloads' progress and quicklist Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser: Confirmed Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts: Confirmed Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: In Ubuntu, Firefox should use the Unity Launcher API to show progress of the downloads and to show a quicklist (for example, New Window).
