Bug 2020927 Comment 21 Edit History

Note: The actual edited comment in the bug view page will always show the original commenter’s name and original timestamp.

For future reference:

* Firefox 147 didn't show this issue, because sync about:blank was not yet there.
* Firefox 148.0.0 didn't work with the GWT RichTextArea, because sync about:blank was there but this compat hack was not.
* Firefox 148.0.2 has the compat hack without a message to the console in dev tools and without a use counter, and the compat hack requires building the GWT app with the default linker options that put `GwtPotentialElementShim` in the global scope.
* Firefox 149 and later look for `__gwt_activeModules` in the global scope instead (bug 2022476), so the compat hack should work with any GWT linking alternatives. There is a message to the console in dev tools and a use counter.
