Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0 Build ID: 20180123215146 Steps to reproduce: For firefox-52.6.0esr I called ./configure --with-system-icu and on the system I have ICU 60.2 . The build fails, as it cannot find TimeZone::recreateDefault() but this method is not part of ICU 60.2 or ICU 59.1 . https://github.com/mozilla/newtab-dev/blob/master/intl/icu-patches/bug-1172609-timezone-recreateDefault.diff suggests this is mozilla-specific method and the intl/icu-patches folder confirms this. In such a case ./configure --with-system-icu shall fail, rather than creating problems at build time.
Based on other similar reports, I think the correct component is General::Firefox Build System. Please correct if this is not the right component.
