This actor is needed for Entries API. I moved some code here without removing the actor.

[Andrea Marchesini [:baku]]

Note that I didn't touch dom/system/gonk. This code now is broken, but probably it's already broken: it's not compiled in our treeherder builds and it's not used anymore (am I wrong?).

You're right, dom/system/gonk isn't built.  I think we're not supposed to remove gonk code (yet?)

Be careful removing this stuff... Make sure to get Windows try runs.  ;-)

at least part 10 needs rebasing like

warning: conflicts while merging toolkit/components/jsdownloads/src/DownloadIntegration.jsm! (edit, then use 'hg resolve --mark')
warning: conflicts while merging toolkit/components/jsdownloads/test/unit/common_test_Download.js! (edit, then use 'hg resolve --mark')
abort: unresolved conflicts, can't continue
(use 'hg resolve' and 'hg graft --continue')

seems thats from part 10

Comment 26

[Francesco Lodolo [:flod]]

Can we get a part 10 without the string changes only for aurora? Literally same patch, without the changes to mobile/android/locales/en-US/chrome/browser.properties

Patch is just removing string, but it's going to create a chain effect on tools and a lot of noise mid-cycle. If we can avoid that, it would be great.

If this was only used by b2g, should be ok. A bit scary to take this for beta though.

Comment 35

[Frank-Rainer Grahl (:frg)]

With the patch in esr52 I am having problems compiling SeaMonkey but I think Thunderbird and Firefox are also affected. Just didn't try yet. I am getting C2061 errors in various comm-esr52 and mozilla-esr52 files which include FileSystemDirectoryReader.h. Always the same error. comm-beta compiles fine so I think the patch needs adjustment.

[Chris Mills [:cmills]]

I've checked MDN, and all of the related API features either haven't been documented at all, or have had their pages moved to the B2G OS archive.

I've added a note to the Fx55 release notes:
