Greetings!

TC39 has decided to solve the web-compat issues with
Array.prototype.contains that forced us to back out the feature on October
1st by renaming the method to "includes". This has now landed on Nightly.
However, it is Nightly-only for now, so don't use it in production code
that's intended to make the merge to Developer's Edition.

In further news and for similar reasons, String.prototype.contains will be
renamed to "includes" as well. This is somewhat unfortunate as we've been
shipping String.prototype.contains since Firefox 18. To work around that,
it'll probably be necessary to keep contains as an alias for a while,
ideally with a warning logged to the console. The rename is tracked in bug
1102219.

thank you,
till
