getPageTitle is synchronous, should be replaced with something else.
Maybe we could make an API that given an uri or a guid returns all of its infos.

Andres, I suspect this bug is a big can of worms, all of the code pieces using this API are totally synchronous.
Though if you want to look into it and start filing bugs to make those pieces async I'm fine with that.
I think probably the "set" part of bug 834543 could be easier (in the sense not requiring deep changes of the codebase).

that basically means before making a new async API here, we must change/rewrite consumers to accept async behavior.
One of the blocking pieces here is most likely bug 822200, since backups should first be async to be able to read a title in an async fashion.
If you are looking for more short-term wins, there is some interesting dependency on bug 818399 too.

so, would be cool if this would be able to get the title given uri or guid, like the API. I'm not sure whether this should just get a placeinfo or check if input is a nsIURI or try to use it as a guid otherwise.
What do you think?
I'm also not sure why you need _getPlaceInfoPromised instead of directly invoking getPlaceInfo here and resolving/rejecting the promise here

I would certainly like the helpers to hide the places-info stuff. I will accept nsIURI or guids (strings, that is) as you suggested.

We'll likely have more helpers (getFrecency? getGUIDForURI? getAnnoations?).

As I suspected this is a nightmare to follow with all these guid conditions...
What about if we go the easy path that is disallow passing both a guid and a uri to GetPlacesInfo? would that avoid this craziness?

hm, I wonder if wouldn't be better to invoke handleError, since the consumer is trying to request information for a page that doesn't exist. I'm pretty sure the old API was throwing in such a case.
Rememeber handleError is per place, not global.
Otherwise what should I do to figure if the page exists, check each properties of the place?

Review of attachment 735094 [details] [diff] [review]:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I'd say to try at least removing one of the 2 conditions in FetchPageInfo.
The only problematic case is when both uri and guid are provided. The last time I said the guid should win, but actually you pointed out we allow to change the guid and that creates a code complexity problem.
Thus, I'll just accept the opposite, if both uri and guid are provided we select by uri, and then we check the guid, if it's consistent everything is fine, otherwise we check the aOverrideGUID, this should remove the aForceSelectByURI argument

well, this is not totally true, in updatePlaces there is a double loop, the external one goes through placeInfo, the internal one through visits, and then visits are added one by one, and NotifyVisitInfoCallback is invoked then for each visit.

since we are changing the fact frecency is notified (before it was not), please ensure that when we reach this point we always have read the frecency value.
Now that I think about that, iirc in some cases we just do frecency = CALCULATE_FRECENCY(:page_id) that means we will not know the frecency value when we notify, or we'd notify the wrong value

I suppose we could even have a simple nsCOMPtr member and just pass it to NS_ProxyRelease, it should swap the ownership and keep it alive until it's released on the proper thread, without manual AddRefing. Though please verify that :)

I think this is partially false. What it's trying to express is that if you pass in a place with multiple visits, handleResult is invoked for each visit.

Haven't fixed that yet. Indeed UpdateFrecency doesn't not update the place object. What's the right way to fix that? I would prefer to avoid another query.

Remove the reference, but note that while at least one visit must be added, you can also use this method to update titles and guides (as long as at least one visit is added).
So, I guess that in practice, you're notified for the title/guid change once for each visit added...

No hard feelings :) I just copied that from some other test.

sigh, that's why I was confused.
VisitData is supposed to represent a single visit, as well as NotifyVisitInfoCallback is supposed to notify about a single visit.
So calling it without a visit is a nonsense and mIncludeVisits param is conceptually wrong.
We could rename this NotifyVisitInfoCallback to NotifyPlaceInfoCallback, since it's what it does in the end. And rename the parameter to aIsVisit...
It will still suck but should be a little bit more coherent.

Well, indeed it was not fixed, that's why we were always passing out -1, to avoid passing out a wrong value. I don't have any idea to fix that, I also would like to avoid querying. Is this really really needed or just a nice-to-have?

I suppose you want to write a little test and check what happens, I honestly forgot.
The other comments look fine.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Please add @deprecated to getPageTitle in the idl, pointing to the new API.
Also please add PLACES_WARN_DEPRECATED() to the ::GetPageTitle() implementation.
Finally, please file a bug to replace usage of getPageTitle (won't be funny I think) and make it block bug 699850.

This is not equivalent to the previous code, we must ensure nsNavHistory is alive at this point, but since you moved it into NS_ABORT_IF_FALSE it won't happen in release...
please restore it and add a comment explaining why it's done that way.

I suspect this is wrong for the same reason I pointed out before, and I'm not sure why this is done here instead of in GetPlacesInfo API call, wouldn't be better to just do it once instead for each entry?

are we doing anything with this rv value? it looks unused, you should probably just NS_ENSURE_SUCCESS

I'd prefer to call resolve() in handleCompletion for better serialization.
Also, would not be nice if resolve would pass out aPlaceInfo?
you may just store aPlaceInfo in a local var, and on completion if it's set resolve to it.
fwiw I think you could even invoke resolve regardless of failure, once a promise is rejected, invoking resolve is a no-op and viceversa.

I'm not sure I understand what this is adding over promiseAddVisits, you may just promiseAddVisits({ uri: aURI }), transition_link is implicit iirc, as well as visitDate and a custom title is made up automatically.

I don't have much of an opinion here, you and Marco should sort out whether these are useful additions since you have much better knowledge of potential users. If there are no existing users we should generally be conservative with API additions, IMO.

Why optional? I don't see how it could make sense to call this without a callback.
