The reviews on the SeaMonkey place bookmarks bug 498596 are bringing up some improvements we should port back to the Firefox side as well. I'll try to bring up patches here as we go on that other bug, so that this review profits both sides and makes porting of further work easier.
This patch addresses the first round of Neil's comments over in bug 498596.

I think we still want to do this import lazily.  Is there a reason why you don't think we should do this?

Not really sure of the benefit of this change.  We did this originally so things were not so verbose...

r=sdwilsh, but I want answers to the above questions.  (mak, feel free to chime in here too)

Services.jsm is all-lazy internally, so there should not be a reason to call it lazily. Also, it actually should already be loaded in any case, esp. as nsBrowserGlue.js loads it as well. Defining a lazy getter is probably not just more complex but possibly even slower than just directly "loading" (actually referencing) it here.

It doesn't change verbosity that much, but possibly even saves us loading the prompt service if it's not instantiated yet and not really needed here. The whole purpose of Services.jsm - except avoiding to instantiate services multiple times - is to only load them lazily and making code easier to understand, and IMHO (and Neil seems to think the same way) putting up yet another var and using that instead makes it harder to understand as you need to dereference the var in your brain, while directly using Services.* is uniform in all places where it's used. Just my 2c on that.
Services.jsm at that point is very likely already included (utilityOverlay), so I think Neil is correct saying there is no reason to have it even lazier in PU.

+    // We reach the XUL document here as it's the parent node of the root element

just kill the comment, not really useful.

other parts are fine imo.

I'll keep this to patches that don't grow too large. ;-)

Here's one with Ian's nits on PlacesUIUtils, controller, and sidebarUtils, including my own nit/whitespace fixes I had done in my work on the SeaMonkey patches. A lot of this is removal of trailing whitespace, someone seems to have an editor that likes creating that...
Attachment #463850 - Flags: review?(mak77)
Here's the hopefully last round from this one, with my own and Ian's nits/comments on the tree code, see bug 580656 comment #14.
Ian nicely found out that we had a few places where we can inline variables we only are using once, and that we can use isSorted() in some places instead of repeating the direct check every time.

I'm not sure these changes are much valuable, both are true, the service is an observer by itself since the observer is "this". Sounds like polluting blame, but if you have specific reasons to believe is is incorrect provide them please.

other changes are fine, but waiting for answer above.

this doesn't look like needing a new line, is CC["..."] going over 80 chars if you put it above? if you can plase move Cc to tha same line as var xferable

"a potential an error" looks wrong

Well, Neil demanded them on the SeaMonkey side, and it's easier to port back and forth when it's done on both sides - that's my core reason for doing this here.
That said, I see a logical difference between if we _have_ an observer for something and if the places DB _is_ locked, and IMHO it makes sense to have the var names between those differ. And, actually, the var value matters to us in terms of _having_ an observer added for that and needing to remove it at some point.
Still, while I understand his logic, my primary motivation to get this by you is to ease my future porting of changes to this, subtle var naming differences are easy to get wrong in those jobs.

Imho, for now nsSuiteGlue should use nsBrowserGlue names, even if I see you don't like them.
Here's round 2 without the glue var changes.

I filed bug 588027 separately on the library cleanups Neil commented on, as that probably will need ui-reviews.

This change doesn't really seem beneficial, but I think it was bitrotten by http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/8280bf7b49aa anyways. Otherwise this patch is fine.

Gavin already said in the last comment that the rest would be good, so requesting his review and approval at the same time.
