1490464 - XUL attribute persistence is broken in browser.xhtml

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: General, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Brendan Dahl [:bdahl]]

XUL attribute persistence is handled by the XUL document, so when we move to HTML the same behavior does not exist.

Example test that is broken:
browser/base/content/test/performance/browser_window_resize.js

Attachment: Bug 1490464 - Fix XUL attribute persistence for browser.xhtml. r=smaug

Previously, XUL attribute persistence was mainly handled by the XUL
document which doesn't work for browser.xhtml. Move the attribute watching
and persisting code to the XUL element and move the loading and setting
of the persisted attributes into XULStore, so they can be used by XUL and
HTML.

How the stored values are applied on document load is handled
slightly differently in XUL and HTML. In a XUL document, the attributes
are automatically applied after parse. In an HTML document we don't want
to have this behavior by default, so applyPersistentAttributes must be
called explicitly if the page wants to use this feature. This also gives
the page finer control over when to apply the persisted attributes.
