35558 - Trouble running multiple apps embedding Gecko

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core Graveyard :: Embedding: APIs, defect, P3)

Description

[travis]

There are many shared resources such as mozRegistry and the users directory etc 
that will cause a collision when multiple instances of Gecko are being run.  
This will cause a major problem with numerous people trying to embed us.

-> dougt. not sure if this bug is still valid.

Comment 5

[Doug Turner (:dougt)]

Embedding clients now have the ablity to choose the name of the xpcom registry
via the xpcom init call.  This will place all registry files and other config
files below this directory in the users home dir.  By doing this, we reduce any
global files which gecko read/writes to.


Note the produce name parameter:

http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/xpcom/build/nsXPComInit.cpp#204


If two gecko embedders choose the same name, however, problems will/can ocurr.
So, dont do that!  Please select unique names for your product - DON'T USE
"mozilla"!


I am marking this as fixed.
