No description provided.

Emulated flexbox doesn't support this, but allows you to specify widths
in percentages instead, so do that.

This shouldn't have any observable behavior change, but this is the
first page that uses modern flexbox layout instead of XUL layout.

In practice, this means that various interesting bugs that arise from
poor interaction between xul and block / flex / grid should disappear /
no longer be an issue for front-end developers.

Depends on D157073

Emilio, I know you've put up patches for a bunch of the regressions but given soft freeze has now started, should we consider backing out the second patch here and relanding it after soft freeze to give ourselves some time to address any fallout, discovered or otherwise?

Flags: needinfo?(emilio)

Yeah. Most fixes are one-liners, not super-concerning, but that's fair.

We'd need to back out both patches tho, otherwise the applications menu would be broken (because width: 50% doesn't work on XUL)... Would it be reasonable to back both out from beta as soon as the merge happens? Alternatively I guess we can back them out today, and I can reland after the soft freeze, if you want.

I think backing out today and relanding on Monday/Tuesday is the easiest in that you don't need to request approval for anything (sheriffs will back you out on request), but I don't have a super strong preference either way.

Backed out as per Emilio's request.

I asked sheriffs to back out, will re-land on monday after the freeze is over.
