1507596 - Provide an internal way to identify ESR that does not involve the channel

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Mike Kaply [:mkaply]]

We currently add additional text for the ESR in the about dialog here:

https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/base/content/aboutDialog.js#80

Unfortunately we rely on the update channel, so it doesn't work properly on Linux (or any place that uses the default channel).

Similar to how we identify beta and nightly, there should be a way to identify the ESR properly regardless of the channel.

This will become especially relevant soon because we are going to use a different search code for ESR.

This was done in bug 1432737

AppConstants.MOZ_APP_VERSION_DISPLAY now contains ESR at the end.
