1407097 - Lenovo OneKey work-around & Firefox 56.0.1 forced migration to 64bit Firefox

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Franpa_999]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:56.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/56.0
Build ID: 20170926190823

Steps to reproduce:

Potential, untested issue with Firefox 56.0.1.

- Release notes for Firefox 56.0.1 says that 32bit Firefox users will be upgraded to the 64bit version of Firefox under 64bit Windows.
- Lenovo OneKey users must use 32bit Firefox to avoid issues


Actual results:

Potentially Lenovo OneKey users are upgraded to an incompatible version of Firefox against their wishes.


Expected results:

Firefox should check for OneKey (or stop working around **** software) and not upgrade the appropriate people to 64bit Firefox.

This is a good idea and we considered it for bug 1369361, but I don't think we need to add a Lenovo OneKey check to the updater client at this time. We added a speculative fix in bug 1369361 last month in Firefox 56.0.1 and we haven't seen OneKey's _acrt_RtlGenRandom crash signature in any builds since then. Perhaps OneKey is now crashing with a different crash signature, but we haven't seen any new 64-bit crash signatures spike that look related.
