1187119 - Show compatibility warning if an add-on uses setKeywordForBookmark, getKeywordForBookmark, or getURIForKeyword

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Compatibility Tools, defect)

Description

[Jorge Villalobos [:jorgev] (he/him)]

As explained in bug 1140395, the old keywords API is being deprecated in Firefox 40. All instances of these three functions: setKeywordForBookmark, getKeywordForBookmark, getURIForKeyword need to be flagged.

This is a compatibility warning, so the add-on should still be upgraded in this case. It should also appear as a warning in regular validations.

Message:

The old keywords API is deprecated. You should use PlacesUtils.keywords instead. See <LINK> for more information.

Affected add-on:

https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/quick-search-14448/

Release timing:

Firefox 40 will be released on August 11th.
