...in case the database has been created for the first time history service will create all tables, indexes and triggers, calling related inittables static methods of other dependant services.
...the same pre-compiled statements approach is used in other dependant services and in autocomplete.
... queries can act on a variety of datas, coming from all dependant services, so it is possible to query history, bookmarks or both, also with values coming from other services like tags, annotations.

Finishing the Component
for example, take a look at the nsiservicemanager: /** * the nsiservicemanager manager interface provides a means to obtain * global services in an application.
... the service manager depends * on the repository to find and instantiate factories to obtain * services.
...after that, * they can request specific services by calling getservice.
... * * a user of a service may keep references to particular services * indefinitely and only must call release when it shuts down.

in february 2000 iplanet e-commerce solutions (a sun-netscape alliance) released source code through mozilla.org for the personal security manager and network security services software; this source code included support for the ssl protocol, but due to the rsa patent and related legal issues it did not originally contain code for rsa or other cryptographic algorithms.
... version 3.1 of the network security services library will include a complete open source implementation of the cryptographic algorithms needed for mozilla ssl support, including the rsa public key algorithm (now in the public domain).
... this form of licensing was chosen to allow the released personal security manager and network security services source code to be used in as many contexts as possible; for example, the psm and nss code can be used in mozilla under mpl terms, and can also be used in gnu and other projects under gpl terms.

generic crypto svcs are the services that nss uses to do its basic cryptography (rsa encryption with public keys, hashing, aes, des, rc4, rc2, and so on).other pkcs #11 modules can supply implementations of these functions, and nss uses those versions under certain conditions.
... however, these are not the services nss calls to get to other pkcs #11 modules, which show up separately under cryptographic modules.

foo.jsm exports a symbol, but that is not recognised by eslint check it is listed correctly in tools/lint/eslint/modules.json using services.scriptloader.loadsubscript?

Reviewer Checklist
[fennec: android services has logger.pii() for this purpose (e.g., logging profile dir)].

mach
if it works, you can look at compiler warnings: $ ./mach warnings-list try running the program: $ ./mach run try running your program in a debugger: $ ./mach run --debug try running some tests: $ ./mach xpcshell-test services/common/tests/unit/ or run an individual test: $ ./mach mochitest browser/base/content/test/general/browser_pinnedtabs.js you run mach from the source directory, so you should be able to use your shell's tab completion to tab-complete paths to tests.

Message manager overview
accessing process message managers you can access the global parent process manager with code like this: // parent process let parentprocessmessagemanager = cc["@mozilla.org/parentprocessmessagemanager;1"] .getservice(ci.nsimessagebroadcaster); you can also access it as the ppmm property of services.jsm.

Tracking Protection
most obviously, it means that when tracking protection is enabled: content served from third-party trackers will not be visible to users your site won't be able to use third-party advertising or analytics services that engage in tracking more subtly, if other parts of your site depend on trackers being loaded, then these parts will also be broken when tracking protection is enabled.

Firefox and the "about" protocol
(question mark) > troubleshooting information) about:sync-log displays a synchronization protocol related to the sync feature about:telemetry displays telemetry data collected and sent to mozilla while firefox is running (in case the user enabled telemetry) about:url-classifier displays the status of the url classifier services that firefox uses (for example for safe browsing) about:webrtc information about webrtc usage about:welcome page first displayed when firefox is installed about:welcomeback information page displayed after firefox is reset these urls are defined in docshell/base/nsaboutredirector.cpp within the kredirmap array.

ChromeWorker
addons that wish to use file:// urls must first register a resource replacement path, using code like this: var fileuri = services.io.newfileuri(file); services.io.getprotocolhandler('resource').

Add-on Manager

JavaScript code modules
services.jsm provides getters for conveniently obtaining access to commonly-used services.

Localizing extension metadata on addons.mozilla.org
amo doesn't directly provide translation assistance to extension authors, but there are a couple services that can help: babelzilla.org babelzilla.org is a community dedicated to the localization of extensions for moz family apps.

Localizing with Pontoon
machinery displays matches from various services: internal translation memory, mozilla transvision, open source translation memory, microsoft terminology and machine translation.

Mozilla Port Blocking
by default, mozilla now blocks access to specific ports which are used by vulnerable services in order to prevent security vulnerabilites due to "cross-protocol scripting".

Gecko Profiler FAQ
to stop the profiler from gathering more samples after the “startup end” marker that you’re interested in, you can call services.profiler.pause(); or you can insert a marker with a special string and then write a script that filters out all samples that were gathered after your marker.

A brief guide to Mozilla preferences
they are: default preference files firefox ships default preferences in several files, all in the application directory: greprefs.js - preferences shared by all applications using the mozilla platform services/common/services-common.js - preferences for some shared services code, this should arguably be included in some other file defaults/pref/services-sync.js - default preferences for firefox sync, also oddly misplaced browser/app/profile/channel-prefs.js - a file indicating the user's update channel.
