boolean isVisited(in nsIURI aURI);
void setPageTitle(in nsIURI aURI, in AString aTitle);

Methods

addURI()

Add a URI to global history.

Note: Docshell will not filter out URI schemes like chrome:, data:, about: and view-source:. Embedders should consider filtering out these schemes and others, for example mailbox:, for the main  nsIURI and the referrer.
