Bug 989984 changed getShortcutOrURIAndPostData to have a synchronous callback behavior. Some add-ons are using the Promise-based function in other contexts, and now the following compatibility code might be needed:

new Promise(resolve => getShortcutOrURIAndPostData(query, resolve));

I filed this bug to see if we should try to keep compatibility, or ask the few add-ons that require it to use the above line of code instead.

I'd rather notify the addon authors. The promise-variant is pretty new.

OK, adding the comment in bug 989984.
