896981 - see if we can kill nsErrorService

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1792354

(Core :: XPCOM, defect, P3)

Description

[Trevor Saunders (:tbsaunde)]

It should be easy to remove the mErrorStringBundleKeyMap hash table since nothing is ever inserted into it (atleast in gecko).
the string bundle url hash table is pretty much unused but xslt and necko add an entry for their string bundles which seem to be slightly used xslt looks up the string bundle for an error code in one place and so doesuriloader, but we should be ale to replace this little bit of stuff with something much less over engineered.

Yes please. I believe that all we really need here is nonlocalized strings for developer-facing error dialogs. And to do this, we should just use ErrorList.h to map numeric errors back to "NS_ERROR_X". Robert Bindar needs this for an about:networking page he's doing.
