854465 - Use in-XPI modules if a preference is set

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Add-on SDK Graveyard :: General, defect, P1)

Description

[Dave Townsend [:mossop]]

Currently bootstrap.js looks at the Firefox version to determine if it can use the modules built-in to Firefox. For 1.14 I'd like it to also check whether a specific preference is set.

This gives us an escape clause in the event that we determine that something is wrong with the modules in Firefox 21, we could either update Firefox 21 to set that pref (if not already released) or deploy a hotfix to set the pref for all users.
