<html><head></head><body>Surely mozilla-central's new interface should be mozIActivityManager by their own convention?<br>
<br>
Can someone comment on their bug and file a bug for us if necessary? Given they are breaking their current convention it'd be nice if they could give us a chance to working something out. I've also got a feeling there's one or two extensions that use the interface so this won't be great for them...<br>
