This is a dupe of https://github.com/mozilla/activity-stream/issues/1173

The bug is due to incorrectly Cu.importing this library by the activity stream addon.

No reason to file a bug here, closing.

The fix is already in, not sure when it will be updated on test pilot, Ricky may know.

We will be cutting a release later today that fixes that.

Looks like the release might not come out today. If you want, you can use the "dev channel" of the addon which should work: https://moz-activity-streams-dev.s3.amazonaws.com/dist/latest.html
