Second, I'd prefer to cast this in the following way: "Firefox for Android just grew a Java-side global message bus, available throughout the App lifecycle." This is the equivalent of the JavaScript-side Services message bus. This is helpful when you want to decouple parts of the App; I use it to allow us to compile things separately, but there are many other uses. There are many other things well-suited to messaging in this form. Thanks Jim! Nick
