1240598 - Don't ship MozContacts, MozIcc, MozStkCommandEvent, etc in Firefox for Android and Desktop

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1310864

(Core Graveyard :: DOM: Contacts, defect)

Description

[Nick Alexander :nalexander [he/him]]

This ticket is motivated by Bug 1193431, which aims to remove permissions and bad Fennec front-end code for the Contacts API.  Unfortunately, the DOM implementation of contacts leads to a chain of dependencies that aren't properly guarded by MOZ_B2G or MOZ_RIL or whatever is appropriate, and therefore can't be turned off in Fennec (or in Desktop).  This ticket tracks at *least* getting dom/contacts and dom/icc out of Fennec, but I'd really like to see a re-thinking of what we ship in Fennec and in Desktop.  The WebApp runtime was to be removed from Fennec yesterday; we should ride this momentum to remove the huge number of moz-prefixed APIs that arose in the b2g era and are never going to be exposed to the web.  (And now, to "certified" apps, or the equivalent.)
