no-newtab-refs-outside-newtab
=============================
outside of the newtab codebase. This is because as of Firefox 142, newtab can
be updated out-of-band from the rest of the browser. This linting rule aims to
prevent accidental dependencies from being created against a moving newtab
target. If external code _must_ depend or call into newtab code, please consult
with the newtab team before adding an exception.
**Allowed locations:**
* ``browser/extensions/newtab/``
* ``browser/components/newtab/``
* ``browser/modules/AboutNewTab.sys.mjs``
* ``browser/actors/AboutNewTabChild.sys.mjs``
Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

// In browser/components/urlbar/UrlbarProviderTopSites.sys.mjs:
const { ActivityStream } = ChromeUtils.importESModule("resource://newtab/lib/ActivityStream.sys.mjs")
// In browser/base/content/browser.js:
