Description

[Chris Peterson [:cpeterson]]

When running some tests locally (such as mach test browser/components/resistfingerprinting/test/browser/browser_navigator.js), I see the following warning logged to the terminal:

The pref extensions.formautofill.creditCards.available pref is defined with type bool:

:tgiles looks like we need to update one more place?

It looks like this will be fixed once I land Bug 1745248. I'm going to mark this bug as dependent on Bug 1745248 so that we can verify this error doesn't appear after that work lands.

Not seeing the issue reproduce given the steps in Comment #0, safe to say this issue is fixed.
