Just wondering why the change for one of these four is different to the rest. r=me with this addressed.

For completeness, is this about the method here feature https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/ChildNode.remove ?

Thanks for another sweep through the tree, Aryx :)

What about comment 5?

Comment 16

[Sebastian Hengst [:aryx] (needinfo on intermittent or backout)]

suite has already landed, see 972331. For calendar, I want to fix the mozmill tests before (bug 975738). https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/ChildNode.remove seems to be wrong because .remove() doesn't returning anything (.removeChild returns the removed node).

Comment 17

[:aceman]

OK, I see bug 972331. It has the same summary as this one so if none of them is the meta bug, you could at least distinguish their summaries (one is for TB, one for SM) :)
