[1] Firefox implements the PromiseRejectionEvent interface if you go to about:config and set the dom.promise_rejection_events.enabled pref to true. However, Firefox doesn't yet actually send the unhandledrejection or understand rejectionhandled events. Completing the implementation will be addressed in bug 1362272.
