293861 - "@mozilla.org/browser/shell-service" no longer available in nightly builds of thunderbird

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: Build Config, defect)

Description

[Henrik Gemal]

in my extension I'm using:
LaunchyContext.winhooks =
Components.classes["@mozilla.org/browser/shell-service;1"].getService(Components.interfaces.nsIWindowsShellService);

but in the latest nightly builds I can no longer get the "shell-service". has it
been removed?

I see the following components:
@mozilla.org/browser/history-entry;1
@mozilla.org/browser/global-history;2
etc

but not "shell-service"!

argh!

Darin: Do you have any clue why "@mozilla.org/browser/shell-service" is
available in nightly builds of Firefox and not Thunderbird.

I really need this function:
getRegistryEntry

Henrik, do you still see this problem?

Comment 3

[Phil Ringnalda (:philor)]

getRegistryEntry was broken for non-latin1 locales (bug 272166 and bug 272167) and was replaced in bug 292981.
