for now, could we just change  mozIDOMApplicationMgmt to not inherit nsIDOMEventTarget?

Comment 2

[Olli Pettay [:smaug]]

...since the implementation doesn't seem to implement nsIDOMEventTarget anyway.

Why are webapp implementation bugs DOM bugs?

Core --> DOM:Mozilla Extensions is where bugs go for issues related to underlying mozapps API. Checking the changelog for the file being worked on, this file seems to be attached to that.

Firefox --> Web Apps is front-end work for the end user for the install lifecycle for apps natively (e.g. install app, launch app).

Myk's description a little while back summarizes it as:

"The webapp runtime for Firefox, which comprises: the stub executable launcher (i.e. the binary and related files that Firefox creates for each webapp you install to your local computer) and the XUL shell (i.e. the XULRunner application that the launcher uses to load a webapp and provide it with native integration APIs). Note: bugs about Gecko's navigator.mozApps DOM API (i.e. the API that web pages use to request webapp installation) go in Core / DOM: Mozilla Extensions; bugs about Firefox's webapp installer (i.e. the feature that creates a launcher when the user approves an installation request) go in Firefox / Web Apps. "

Need to fix the test, and also the event interface.
