I happened to find an older version of the promise-based media playback patch in Bugzilla, the one that was originally submitted for review. It had the DocShell changes I already knew how to deal with, and had fewer of the audio wrapper and nsISupports changes that were confusing me in the later patch. I was able to do a better job getting this back into a UXP-appropriate configuration than I could have with the final version.
I'm honestly still a little unsure about some of the minor refactoring done in the patch itself, insisting on already_AddRefed promises and such, but I don't really know how to avoid those completely. Still, I think it's better than it was.
This repository holds the code for a unified application platform for XUL-based
applications. It is a hard fork from the Mozilla code repository (mozilla-central)
with an ESR-52 fork point.
In addition to further development based on the Mozilla upstream code, and
selective cherry-picking of directly-applicable patches, this repository has its
own development and holds the base for a future platform to be used by XUL
applications.
This repository will contain at least one application to demonstrate and make use
of the platform: The Basilisk web browser, a close twin to Mozilla's Firefox.
