I don't think that we should expect web developers to ever run debug builds. I've never heard of one that does. Not even addon developers run debug builds from my understanding. I've been told multiple times that NS_ASSERTION and MOZ_ASSERT are useless as tools for deprecating functions from addon developers since they just don't see them. Limiting this to aurora builds might make the most sense here since that's what we're pushing as the build that developers should use. / Jonas _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
