Re: Intent to unship: window.showModalDialog
There was some recent activity around this in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=840640. Tim, what's the latest status on this? Are you still working on it?

Re: Intent to unship: window.showModalDialog
In one of my projects we have replaced this method with the tag that only supports Google Chrome. It would be interesting that when window.showModalDialog is turned off, the dialog element is operational. When do you want to implement the dialog tag html5? Thanks. ___ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
Intent to unship: window.showModalDialog
Hey all, 3 years ago (!) sicking commented in bug 981796 [1] that we were removing window.showModalDialog. The following year, I wrote a patch to disable it via a pref at the same time as pushing some telemetry to try to track usage. We saw more usage than we were hoping, so we held off on turning it off then. That being said, we didn't implement window.showModalDialog in e10s, so it's been disabled for those users since (about) Firefox 48. It's time to turn off window.showModalDialog for the rest of the users. For the time being, we'll hide it behind a pref and look to remove the code in the next couple of cycles.
