<p>Well that would just make c-c a dumping ground for old junk
nobody wants. (Though this particular case with a blank file is of
course rare.)</p>
<p>Anyway, we just have to face it that add-ons have little chance
of working without some changes. Doing a s/nsILocalFile/nsIFile/g

I would suggest to keep such interfaces. an empty interface is not
really a maintenance burden. and adding this file will be 100
times easier than fixing all callers, even if it's just a
replacement.<br>
<br>
this is particularly true for extensions without maintainer. it's
the user that counts, not who is at fault. this is a relatively
easy way to avoid unnecessary breakage.<br>
<br>
you might be able to just undo these m-c commits, or (to avoid
changes to m-c) move the IDL files to a new dir in
mailnews/compat/src/public/.<br>

thanks a lot Jörg
have you an example how to replace the nsILocalFile with nsIFile ?...</blockquote>
s/nsILocalFile/nsIFile/g. The contents of nsILocalFile were blanked out
years ago and everything moved to nsIFile, but the interface itself was
not deleted due solely to add-on impact.
