1357550 - MacOS version shows |C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe| as a preference name

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: Build Config, defect)

Description

[mickblu]

Attachment: about-config.jpg

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.12; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0
Build ID: 20170323105023

Steps to reproduce:

Went to the Config Editor in version 53.0b1 (64-bit)


Actual results:

Very first Preference Name is:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe 


Expected results:

Not sure why this is there, but obviously it makes no sense in a MacOS version! Perhaps it should be pointing to the install location in the Applications Folder? (~/Applications/Thunderbird.app)

Did you perhaps install an add-on which may have erroneously set this pref?

We don't have a preference by this name.

That is a possibility I hadn't even considered - yes, that is a possibility but I have no way to know for sure. Nonetheless, thank you. Based on other responses indicating that this string doesn't originate from Mozilla, I'll 'make it go away!'
