since the add ons manager (about:addons) landed, some extensions do not work anymore, they fail to load Components.classes['@mozilla.org/extensions/manager;1']
mostly to get the path of the extension.
is Components.classes['@mozilla.org/extensions/manager;1'] still available and just broken in trunk or is this a change in the api?

Reproducible: Always
Component: General → Add-ons Manager
Product: Core → Toolkit
QA Contact: general → add-ons.manager
It is no longer available and extensions will need to switch to the new API to get their paths etc. http://www.oxymoronical.com/blog/2010/03/How-were-breaking-some-extensions-in-the-near-future

sadly i can not find any documentation on the new api at https://developer.mozilla.org/ any pointers?
Right now it is at https://wiki.mozilla.org/Extension_Manager:API_Rewrite, we'll be transferring all of that to MDC this week hopefully.
