We only use this for nsIDOMEventListener. And I'm pretty sure that's currently only used for the non-webidl event targets, and then only via Xrays, I think (because the non-Xray case uses webidl quickstubs). Once we fix bug 888591 we can kill this stuff off completely.
What's the status here? Looking at Bug 888591 the only one that's left is Bug 888600. Is that one required to fix this bug?

That sounds accurate, yes.
It looks like it's actionable now, so I made some patches.

Whoa, removing nsDOMClassInfo.cpp! That's pretty awesome. :-)

Doesn't this change the behaviour of event listeners added through nsIEventListenerService? And what about nsISessionStoreUtils::createDynamicFrameEventFilter?

> Doesn't this change the behaviour of event listeners added through nsIEventListenerService? Hmm... So it does. Looking at the consumers of addListenerForAllEvents: * The use in devtools/server/actors/thread.js passes a bound function, so it's fine. * The use in browser/base/content/test/performance/head.js does not use "this". * The uses in dom/events/test/test_bug448602.html don't use "this". So those are all OK. For addSystemEventListener (some of the files have multiple uses; I did look at all of them): * browser/base/content/browser.js: Doesn't use "this". * browser/base/content/content.js: Uses a non-function so doesn't need this translator. * browser/base/content/tabbrowser.js: Uses a non-function. * browser/components/customizableui/CustomizableUI.jsm: Uses a non-function. * browser/components/syncedtabs/TabListView.js: Uses a non-function. * browser/extensions/mortar/host/common/ppapi-runtime.jsm: Uses a bound function. * browser/modules/ContextMenu.jsm: Uses a bound function. * dom/browser-element/BrowserElementChildPreload.js: Uses a non-function. * dom/browser-element/BrowserElementParent.js: Uses a bound function. * toolkit/components/viewsource/content/viewSource-content.js: Uses a non-function. * toolkit/content/browser-content.js: Uses a non-function. * toolkit/content/widgets/tabbox.xml: Uses a non-function. * browser/components/resistfingerprinting/test/mochitest/test_keyboard_event.html: Doesn't use "this". * dom/events/test/pointerevents/test_bug1315862.html: Doesn't use "this". * dom/events/test/test_dom_wheel_event.html: Doesn't use "this". * editor/libeditor/tests/test_bug569988.html: Uses a non-function. * editor/libeditor/tests/test_bug674770-1.html: Doesn't use "this". * editor/libeditor/tests/test_contenteditable_text_input_handling.html: Uses a non-function. * editor/libeditor/tests/test_htmleditor_keyevent_handling.html: Uses a non-function. * editor/libeditor/tests/test_texteditor_keyevent_handling.html: Uses a non-function. * layout/forms/test/test_bug935876.html: Doesn't use "this". * testing/mochitest/tests/SimpleTest/EventUtils.js: Doesn't use "this". * toolkit/components/satchel/test/test_popup_enter_event.html: Doesn't use "this". * toolkit/content/tests/chrome/test_autocomplete_mac_caret.xul: Doesn't use "this". * toolkit/content/tests/mochitest/test_autocomplete_change_after_focus.html: Doesn't use "this". * widget/tests/test_keycodes.xul: Doesn't use "this". So we're good on all those too. For future ones people add, behavior will be a bit different from DOM addEventListener, but I think that's OK. And if we care, we can work on switching the event listener service API to taking a jsval and creating a dom::EventListener from it... Maybe that's a good idea anyway. > And what about nsISessionStoreUtils::createDynamicFrameEventFilter? All the callers (all are in browser/components/sessionstore/content/content-sessionStore.js) pass a non-function. So we're good there too.

Ah, I missed this indeed. > For future ones people add, behavior will be a bit different from DOM addEventListener, but I think that's OK. It seems like a potentially obscure footgun :(
I filed bug 1453132 on dealing with that.
