In bug 1510281 we wanted to create a unique firstPartyDomain for each engine, for which we need each engine to have a unique identifier.
engine.identifier is unique, but it only exists for our engines, and it looks like we also (ab)use it to distinguish engine types.
It would be useful in general if each installed engine would have a unique identifier (even just a uuid) assigned to it, and persisting across restarts, so that data pertaining to each engine can be properly partitioned.
Setting at P3 for now, feel free to change.  Also CC'ing Mike.
