Application Object Model (AOM) for Mozilla is an application programming interface for manipulating the application using JavaScript. It is similar to Document Object Model, but instead of being document-centric, it is application-centric. For example, opening web services, saving files, etc.
This term was coined to avoid confusion with DOM which is mainly used for manipulating HTML documents.
