1770700 - Confusing error "Error: Please use $(ref:runtime.getURL)."

Status: NEW

(WebExtensions :: General, defect, P5)

Description

[Tom Schuster (MoCo)]

While ultimately the error reported in bug 1770667 was not the actual cause of the problem, the actual error message is confusing and looks like there is some kind of missed string interpolation going on.

The message is directly from the JSON schema imported from Chromium. We should just change it to extension.getURL is deprecated, use runtime.getURL instead.

It's supposed to be a warning but renders as an error (bug 1712335).

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Graphics' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.
