The Components object is deprecated.

Firefox , in the Developer's tools console tab shows , "The Components object is deprecated. It will soon be removed". Why this warning is coming and how to resolve it?

Deprecated means that the object or method is put of date/old fashioned/or dangerous to implement and there is a good alternative available. Simply type the deprecation warning in google and you will get the things to get . If you are using an external library then go to their website or forum and ask or search this

Offhand I believe the message you mention is technically a warning not an error. This should be gone in an update. Even the newest versions of Firefox show it, even tho it shouldn't be shown as an error more as a warning.

You are getting this warning because you invoked a method belonging to the Components object. methods belonging to this object include classes, classesByID. See this for more explanation https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Tech/XPCOM/Language_Bindings/Components_object
