Details

I noticed that we have two almost identical OAuth2.jsm modules: mailnews/base/util/OAuth2.jsm calendar/providers/gdata/modules/OAuth2.jsm Looks like both files were created in 2014 and then the mailnews version hasn't seen changes since 2015. Maybe it's time to unify them.
The gdata provider used to support very old Gecko based applications like Postbox. Maybe this was the reason to include its own OAuth2 implementation. If this was the only reason than it might be time for cleanup because the required Gecko version is now 45 according to install.rdf.

The future would likely be to use the browser.identity API. I'm going to close this bug since I don't anticipate that we'll be changing this any time soon. Lightning is welcome to steal changes from the Provider regarding OAuth if necessary.
