the page says 

"With the introduction of this function in Firefox 17, the behavior of that check changed in a way that causes code based on MooTools' String.prototype.contains() implementation to break. As a result, this change was disabled in Firefox 17 and String.prototype.contains() was available one version later, in Firefox 18."

However, it is discussing that String.prototype.contains() was removed, and replaced with includes().   I Believe it should say "...String.prototype.includes() was available one version later, in Firefox 18."

Thanks for your report! However, String.prototype.contains was indeed meant here. I have clarified the sentence:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/includes#String.prototype.contains

See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=789036#c32
