I think it's by design, see bug 857820.

Reporter, what blink() function are you talking about, exactly?
Flags: needinfo?(adrian.arroyocalle)
A function avalible in string objects. For example in the web developer console write this: navigator.userAgent.blink();
It returns a HTML piece of code with the blink tag that is obsolete and not avalible in my Firefox version (23).

Oh, that's a JavaScript issue, not a layout one!

Can we just remove all the JS_HAS_STR_HTML_HELPERS bits?  Do any other browsers support them?

At least Chrome, Safari and Opera 12 support "foo".blink() ...
According to [0] every browser supports them, including IE.

Not only are blink & co supported by all UAs, they're also specced. In the insanity corner (i.e., Appendix B), but they're there. Hence, closing as invalid.
