Status: RESOLVED FIXED

HTML5 Specs have been amended to include the MediaError::message attribute.

We want to expose it on all versions, not just aurora and nightly...

Too late for 51. Mark 51 won't fix.
Hi :jya,
Is this worth uplifting to Aurora52?

For documentation purposes: if I read this correctly, this is basically about making this property available by default on beta and release builds starting with Firefox 52. I assume it shipped enabled by default in Firefox 52 despite being labeled as “Fixed” in 53. Please advise if I’m wrong.

Yes, that's why "firefox52: fixed" in the tracking flags.

Yeah, these accurate about 99.999% of the time, but I've been bitten a couple of times, so if I have any doubt at all, I double-check.
