Summary: The HTML Microdata API was removed from the spec due to lack of
implementor interest. See
<https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=22783>. Our
implementation of it breaks some pages (due to the itemId attributes it
adds) and is a bunch of code. I would like to remove it.

Tracking bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=909633

Target release: 49

I believe I've removed all our in-browser dependencies on this stuff. I
haven't really checked addons because unfortunately the property names
this thing uses (e.g. "properties", "itemId") are way too common. :(

Should I remove the component from Bugzilla and mark remaining bugs incomplete?

Emma,

Which component do you mean? But I suspect the answer is "no"...
