Bug 981796 changed the preferences to remove support for window.showModalDialog for non-e10s users as well as e10s users. For the moment we're leaving the code in so that stragglers who still use showModalDialog get one last chance before it's gone.

The current plan of record is to default showModalDialog to off in Firefox 56 and remove the code in 57. I'm taking this bug. Once we branch for 57, I'll whip up the patch to remove the code and the tests for good.

Bug 1374460 - Remove internal code that used to be used for showModalDialog.

Would it be safer to keep using the old value? At least for now while some addons might still use this stuff.

I documented this when the feature was disabled in 56:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/56
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/showModalDialog

So I think we can ddc this. Let me know if you think anything else is needed. Thanks!
