Spinoff from bug 1306327 comment 7. Right now the normal Firefox startup path and the -app startup path are separate in annoying ways. Unifying those codepaths will make things better.

> Bug 1321593 - Unify the startup paths between normal Firefox startup and
> firefox -app startup. . As part of this change, this reorganizes the
> nsXREAppData and ScopedAppData classes:
> 
> * Rename nsXREAppData to XREAppData, and make it strongly own references.
> * Separate the compiled-in appdata into its own class "StaticXREAppData"
> * Remove the owner/helper class ScopedAppData and related SetAllocatedString
> helpers
> * Remove the nsXREAppData.size field which is no longer relevant as we don't
> support cross-version embedding
> * Remove XRE_CreateAppData and XRE_FreeAppData helpers which are no longer
> necessary

Can I ask you to make each of those in separate patches? You don't need to do that in separate bugs, just separate patches.

I can separate out the -app/nsBrowserApp bits, but I don't think I can separate the other refactorings in a useful way. createappdata/freeappdata for example are tied to the ownership model, which changes at the same time.

Bug 1321593 part A - Refactor nsXREAppData: 1) make nsXREAppData strongly own its members 2) rename it to mozilla::XREAppData 3) separate out the static compiled data into StaticXREAppData 4) Remove XRE_CreateAppData and XRE_FreeAppData,

FWIW, I don't see an obvious reason why this couldn't have been split in smaller pieces. That would have made the review much easier.

It was a "simple" refcount leak in nsBrowserApp, fixed with a COMPtr.
