1932465 - [WebCompat Reporter] Remove legacy web compat reporter code

Status: NEW

(Fenix :: General, task, P2)

Description

[Noah Bond [:007]]

After the Web Compat reporter feature has landed in Release, the legacy feature code should be cleaned up.

• Core.kt in Fenix.
• The feature-webcompat and feature-webcompat-reporter modules in AC should be investigated if they are used in Focus and either marked for deprecation or removed altogether.

Note that on desktop this addon is still used as our fallback if Glean is disabled (which Report Broken Site relies on), though even then it's only enabled on pre-release channels. It might be worth doing the same thing on Focus if Glean can be disabled.

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

If this bug is about the reporter, do we need to touch feature-webcompat?

Bear in mind that if users have telemetry off, then the new "report broken site" feature will not function, as it relies on Glean. As such this feature is useful as a fallback (as we do on desktop).
