1597302 - Green up our JS dependencies for Firefox 72

Status: NEW

(Firefox :: New Tab Page, task, P2)

Description

[Andrei Oprea [:andreio]]

Let's try to keep our dependencies up to date each cycle. Steps:

1. green up dependencies that are already passing tests

• next-update --test './node_modules/.bin/npm-run-all test buildmc' --type dev
• for non-dev dependencies, probably include --test 'npm run mochitest'
• maybe --without istanbul-instrumenter-loader,karma-sinon,loader-utils (as they failed previously)

2. fix up dependencies that require changes as separate commits

• non-dev dependencies probably require vendor/ file changes

3. create PR with greening up commits

• good to link to major version changes release tags
  -- e.g., https://github.com/mochajs/mocha/releases/tag/v5.0.0

4. file new bug for next cycle

In Messaging System triage, it came up that it could be useful for the New Tab team to not have to block on us to keep stuff up-to-date. If that works for you, I'm happy to help provide any needed guidance on this..

The bug assignee is inactive on Bugzilla, so the assignee is being reset.
