A new about:config preference named "browser.download.useJSTransfer" enables
the browser and the Downloads Panel to use the Downloads.jsm module instead of
nsIDownloadManager as the back-end. The browser must be restarted for the preference to
take effect.
Support for this preference will be available in Nightly today or tomorrow.
This means that it will be ready for testing in the Aurora channel starting
from version 25, on August 8th.
In the Firefox 26 release train, nsIDownloadManager will not be used anymore.
The preference will be removed and there will be no way to revert to the old
system that caused potential performance issues. We will finally be able to
remove a lot of front-end code that is complex to maintain and only needed for
backwards compatibility.
I notice that this preference exists entirely in browser front-end code.
So how are other Mozilla products expected to test Downloads.jsm?
