1880109 - Remove the legacy Windows Jump List backend

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Shell Integration, task)

Description

[Mike Conley (:mconley) (:⚙️)]

The new off-main-thread Windows Jump List backend is being enabled to ride out on the trains in bug 1880082. Once that hits release, we should wait a release cycle, and then we can go ahead and get rid of the old backend.

We'll want to coordinate with the Thunderbird team, since I believe they're still using the old backend.

There is a smattering of reports of the tasks section of the jump list going missing:
