Crazy idea - we could make the touch bar only accessible through web extensions apis, no XPCOM interface or internal api would be provided. This way all development happens in a layer that is secure (webextensions will eventually run in their own process and get sandboxing) and new features can be installed and removed with little effort by our users. We have the ability to ship system addons so we can include default features with our install. This is more in line with our newer modular approach to features, and would give our users much more control.. while also helping to promote web extension development. The approach would also help cut down on code bloat and avoid technologies we are trying to move away from like XPCOM. </2cents> _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
