Type of change
Objective
Created two lints to forbid the usage of the two listeners that have caused memory leaks in Safari in the past. The leaks only seem to occur when the listeners are used in the popup window (and indirectly, in any services or classes that the popup uses).
The new rules apply to the entirety of
browser
andlibs
, with the exception of some subfolders ofautofill
which use the forbidden functions but don't trigger the leak. If someone can think of a better file selection for all the files loaded in the popup window, let me know.
