// Utilities called by JavaScript in Firefox UI.
//
// Most of the Firefox UI is implemented in JavaScript, and so are our
// extensions to it. But the shared backend code that the UI calls (eg
// SettingsDialog) is in C++.
//
// We need some way to talk to that code from the UI. We could expose the things
// we need as Gears components, but that would create an unnecessary security
// risk of content being able to call it. Instead, we use a separate XPCOM
// component which is only accessible from the Firefox UI.
