Idea: Try to implement a check and error msg already in FF47 and look if someone starts to scream. If yes, a FF47.0.1 can be easily shipped with the check and error msg removed again. If no, the devs can start to remove the old code step-by-step. _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
