<p>This looks like excellent news - I am sure Thunderbird will
benefit from this as well. Well done Kris & all
contributors!<br>

id="mid_20190205211231_GJ23201_kmag_localdomain" class=" cite">As
of bug 1478124, the new preferred method for registering XPCOM
components is via static manifest files, as documented here:
<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/build/buildsystem/defining-xpcom-components.html">https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/build/buildsystem/defining-xpcom-components.html</a>
<br>
<br>
And, as of bug 1524688, it will be the preferred method of
defining JavaScript components as well as native ones.
<br>
<br>
The primary motivation for this change is to decrease the amount
of memory (and, to a lesser extent, startup performance) overhead
that component registrations consume in content processes, which
would not have been acceptable in the post-Fission world. It has
the side-benefit, though, of making most registrations much more
straightforward, requiring only a single entry, in a single place,
for each component.
<br>
<br>
<br>
Thank you to all of the reviewers who had to review a lot of very
large patches to make this possible, particularly Nathan Froyd,
Eric Rahm, and Mike Conley, on whom I dumped most of the biggest
chunks.
