nsISHistoryListener defines the interface one can implement to receive notifications about activities in session history and to be able to cancel them. A session history listener will be notified when pages are added, removed and loaded from session history. It can prevent any action (except adding a new session history entry) from happening by returning false from the corresponding callback method. A session history listener can be registered on a particular nsISHistory instance via the nsISHistory::addSHistoryListener() method. @status FROZEN
