Summary
The MozActivityOptions interface allows apps to declare the activity they want to create and also to access information of activities they want to handle.
When an application creates an activity by creating a MozActivity object, it has to pass a MozActivityOptions object. Then, when the activity is handled by the other application, a similar MozActivityOptions option can be found through MozActivityRequestHandler.source.
