This is comment of this interface. * This interface is implemented by every transaction created by this * editor implementation. It is used to help us distinguish our internal * transactions from those generated by 3rd party extensions. So after we don't support 3rd party XPCOM extension, we can remove this.

Comment on attachment 8941583 [details] Bug 1379891 - remove nsPIEditorTransaction interface, GetTxnDescription methods. Reviewboard causes internal error to modify flags and add reviewer... I look OK. Nakano-san, do you have any objections to remove this? nsPIEditorTransaction uses to detect current ITransaction is editor's transaction. Although nsITransaction interface uses places database too, since we cannot use XPCOM from Firefox extension, I think that we can remove this interface. Although Thunderbird can still use this interface from extension...

Yes, and if we make Places not use nsITransaction, we could remove the interface. However, I don't think that it's worthwhile at least for now. > Although Thunderbird can still use this interface from extension... Do you mean some addons for Thunderbird still use nsPIEditorTransaction? But I think that they can just stop using it since any addons shouldn't create its own transaction and insert it to transaction manger of editor.

(Although dxr for addon doesn't work since yesterday. So, I haven't checked how they use nsPIEditorTransaction actually yet.)

Looks like there is one use of txnDescription getter in comm-central, in debugQA extension: https://searchfox.org/comm-central/source/suite/extensions/debugQA/content/debugQAEditorOverlay.js#412 Should the getter be moved to nsITransaction to keep it working, or deal with it the other way?

No. We've already ignored the QA addon when we change some API. Looks like that SeaMonkey isn't active project and its extensions isn't necessary for users.
