1287020 - Clean up preload 3rd party web services

Status: NEW

(Firefox :: File Handling, defect, P3)

Description

[Wesly Huang (EPM)]

During CHE project design phase, UX found below 4 default web services/protocols in FFX (zh-tw)

    a. irc/ Mibbit
    b. ircs/ Mibbit
    c. mailto/ Gmail, Yahoo mail
    d. webcal/ 30boxes

1. Per offline check, this seems unrelated to business/monetization, some history[1][2]
2. There are more than those 4, and differs per languages[3]
3. Some services might be broken, for example[4]
4. Telemetry could be a way to verify the current usage of them, but no existing one for this at the moment
5. Peter. D from PM is planning on writing a product requirements document for our UITelemetry needs.  This should be part of that scope.

Temp conclusion: figure out if these 3rd party web services are actually invoked and for what content types before revamping anything.

Set priority to P3 since we put it on the CHE backlog
