Hi!
My addon is reportedly broken in the Nightly:
https://github.com/dgutov/bmreplace/issues/32#issuecomment-176126946
It imports PlacesUIUtils.jsm and calls three functions from it,
most notably PlacesUIUtils.getDescriptionFromDocument.
How do I "fix" that in the addon, aside for doing the big
transition to an E10s-friendly architecture?
That falls into the category of "unless it is calling browser
code and making it do something unsafe".
If you need to use that function from the main process, you can
only do so from the message listener for a synchronous message
from the content process (or a few other similar situations).
While you're at it, though, it would be a good idea to make that
function asynchronous, so that you can check the description
from the content process, and look up whether the URL is
bookmarked, without blocking the browser process.
