Explain why/if loading of customElements.js no longer necessary? #160

Closed eyalroz closed 2 weeks ago

eyalroz commented 1 year ago

As part of the work on my extension (removedupes) to make it compatible with TB 68, I began loading customElements.js in a dialog my extension uses.

At some point between v68.0 and TB version 102, however, this seems to have become redundant, as - somehow - that script gets loaded for me; or at least, some of the scripts it proceeds to load get loaded for me.

I don't remember why I had started loading this in the first place, but assuming it wasn't just some invalid scribble on my part - perhaps the documents here need to mention when one should stop loading that script.

I do not know, but I do not think the answer is needed any more.
