1107013 - Local Browser Toolbox builds don't clear startup cache

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Description

[J. Ryan Stinnett [:jryans]]

If you do an incremental build of the browser to work on changes to the Browser Toolbox itself, the changes may not appear.  Only a full rebuild makes them apply.

This occurs because the child profile's startup cache is outdated, so we need to explicitly clear it in this case.

As discussed, I think the defaultUpdateChannel check here is covering a case that we probably don't need to worry about, so could be removed (and comment updated) to simplify the condition

Sounds great since it seems it will fix the mysterious problems I've been seeing with the BT not reflecting built changes
