We should add some information about this capability, so that people know what to do in case issues come up.
Landing the upcoming patch would depend on our agreement if it should ride the train, or to get it uplifted to Firefox 57 via bug 1321516.

I would like to get some feedback for the wording, and not land it right away on my own. Thanks.

Thanks David. What I just noticed is that I missed to add the table with info about this capability similar to moz:firefoxOptions. I think it's useful even it's a single row only. I will update the patch.
Well, this capability is a boolean, and as such it doesn't have any other atomic nor object included. So a table doesn't make sense. I will push as it is.

Andreas, I assume we want to update the README.md file on Github as soon as we make changes to the file on m-c, and don't want to wait for the next release?

Thanks for documenting this.  I think it looks mostly fine, but the language could be tightened up.

Replace:

With:

We’ve always scrolled elements outside the viewport into view.

Not sure I understand that last paragraph.  What are you trying to say?

Wow, so `isInView` != `isVisible`. I just missed that by comparing the code.

I reworded to make it better. It was indeed a bit confusing.
