Currently, nsDocShell treats editor as nsIEditor. Therefore some internal API need to use nsIEditor instead of concrete classes. If nsDocShell starts to treat editor as HTMLEditor, a lot of places start to use concrete editor classes and that will improve the runtime performance.

And even Thunderbird doesn't pass non-html-editor here, right?

I believe so since Thunderbird always uses HTMLEditor for composing emails even if it's plaintext mode.

Hi, please let us know if this change breaks Thunderbird (or SeaMonkey). As far as I check the nsIDocShell.editor in c-c, they always set HTMLEditor. So, I think that they won't be broken by those patches.
FIY: I'll be offline tomorrow due to National holiday of Japan. So, if these patch would break something, feel free to back them our by yourself.
Thanks for the heads-up.

I'm sad to say that I've lost you here. Where do we use |attribute nsIEditor editor;| of nsIDocShell.idl?

And nsIEditor of nsIEdittingSession.setEditorOnControllers are used for associating an HTMLEditor with a document. So, it's not needed to expose them to addons.  However, starting of Gecko development, they had dream of XPCOM world...
Sorry, I still don't follow. I can see that you landed not only this bug but also bug 1319340. I have no idea whether TB is affected, since we use nsIEditor and nsIPlaintextEditor quite a bit:

I still don't understand your comment #16:
> As far as I checked the nsIDocShell.editor in c-c, they always set HTMLEditor.
So that would imply that we set (or get?) 'editor' on a nsIDocShell object. Where?
Our first build after this has landed has gone through. There are no test failures and the program still seems to work ;-)
I meant that c-c doesn't set nsIDocShell.editor to TextEditor (which is base class of HTMLEditor but not abstract class) instance. If c-c did so, my patches for this bug would break something on c-c since nsDocShell::SetEditor() becomes to fail.
