The code's home is actually a GitHub repo, and we also export the sources into mozilla-central, so this isn't Mobile-specific.

I'll move this bug into our component and assign myself, this should be an easy fix, but I want do do some careful testing first :)

Attachment: GitHub Pull Request for the WebCompat interventions addon

Submitted a PR for the interventions addon, which will ride the 108 train. I'll submit a PR to a-c with the updated reporter sources as soon as I can.

I've linked PRs for the interventions upstream source, and the PR for Fenix. The in-central reporter has been adjusted by bug 1797777. Nothing left to do here.
