Hey all,

3 years ago (!) sicking commented in bug 981796 [1] that we were removing
window.showModalDialog. The following year, I wrote a patch to disable it via
a pref at the same time as pushing some telemetry to try to track usage. We
saw more usage than we were hoping, so we held off on turning it off then.
That being said, we didn't implement window.showModalDialog in e10s, so it's
been disabled for those users since (about) Firefox 48.

It's time to turn off window.showModalDialog for the rest of the users. For
the time being, we'll hide it behind a pref and look to remove the code in the
next couple of cycles.
