Steps to reproduce:

Use Aurora :)


Actual results:

A few days ago after a "resolved" bug 645922 (removal of .encode and .decode JSON methods) was landed a lot of /current and actively developed/ extensions are broken -- they aren't save preferences for example and so on -- everytime ErrorConsole shows an errors with .encode or .decode based functions calls


Expected results:

A simple dumb "wrapper" that only intercepts a calls of .encode and .decode and resends them to a current (.stringify etc) methods
Yeah, this is easy surface to preserve, and I don't think the cleanup is worth the immediate pain to add-on developers.

A console warning for now?
