Before I go whole-hog trying to fix bug 1095236, I'm curious to know if
we really want to continue supporting dialog=1 from content, or if it's
safe to just ignore that feature like the other browser engines (which I
think would be the fastest path towards fixing bug 1095236).
Are there any really good arguments to keep supporting it?
A good argument, no. But these things can end up having a web compat
impact. I personally think that the risk of web compat is not that high
here but if we want to be sure, we can add a use counter for the feature
and measure how much it's used in the release population, and decide
based on that.
I agree with Eshan here. Usually it's banks scattered around the world
that depend on these obscure features. And banks are some of the
trickiest sites to diagnose (people don't trust me with their online
bank login details, weirdest thing) and *then* you have to convince the
bank to update their sites.
But yeah, the guesswork goes away with a use counter.
