Profile changing happens in phases +in the order given below. An observer may register separately for each phase +of the process depending on its needs. + +"profile-change-teardown" + All async activity must be stopped in this phase. Typically, + the application level observer will close all open windows. + This is the last phase in which the subject's vetoChange() + method may still be called. + The next notification will be either + profile-change-teardown-veto or profile-before-change. + +"profile-before-change" + Called before the profile has changed. Use this notification + to prepare for the profile going away. If a component is + holding any state which needs to be flushed to a profile-relative + location, it should be done here. + +"profile-do-change" + Called after the profile has changed. Do the work to + respond to having a new profile. Any change which + affects others must be done in this phase. + +"profile-after-change" + Called after the profile has changed. Use this notification + to make changes that are dependent on what some other listener + did during its profile-do-change. For example, to respond to + new preferences. + +"profile-initial-state" + Called after all phases of a change have completed. Typically + in this phase, an application level observer will open a new window. + +Contexts for profile changes. These are passed as the someData param to the +observer's Observe() method. + +"startup" + Going from no profile to a profile. + The following topics happen in this context: + profile-do-change + profile-after-change + +"shutdown-persist" + The user is logging out and whatever data the observer stores + for the current profile should be released from memory and + saved to disk. + The following topics happen in this context: + profile-change-net-teardown + profile-change-teardown + profile-before-change + +See https://wiki.mozilla.org/XPCOM_Shutdown for more details about the shutdown +process. + +NOTE: Long ago there was be a "shutdown-cleanse" version of shutdown which was +intended to clear profile data. This is no longer sent and observer code should +remove support for it. |
