1600878 - Remove the use of contentBlockingEvent in RemoteSecurityUI

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Privacy: Anti-Tracking, task, P1)

Description

[Dimi Lee [:dimi]]

The parent process registers a listener to update contentBlockingEvent to RemoteSecurityUI. In Bug 159904, we plan to store content blocking related stuff in WindowGlobalParent. This allows parent process to access contentBlockingEvent directly via WindowGlobalParent.

This allows us to access contentBlockingEvent in the parent process
through WindowGlobalParent object.

Attachment: Bug 1600878 - P2. Use contentBlockingEvents in WindowGlobalParent instead of contentBlockingEvent in RemoteSecurityUI r=timhuang

ContentBlockingEvent in RemoteSecurityUI is updated after receiving notification from the child process.
Since contentBlockingEvent will be removed from the child process, this patch removes the use of
contentBlockingEvent in RemoteSecurityUI and uses the API defined in WindowGlobalParent.

Depends on D55621

Attachment: Bug 1600878 - P3. Do not store contentBlockingEvent in RemoteSecurityUI.jsm r=timhuang

We should be able to acess contentBlockingEvent directly via
WindowGlobalParent::ContentBlockingEvent.
Update and store contentBlockingEvent in RemoteSecurityUI is no longer needed.

Depends on D55622
