1523725 - Version comparing the strings from compatibility.ini fails in some cases

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Toolkit :: Startup and Profile System, enhancement)

Description

[Dave Townsend [:mossop]]

compatibility.ini uses versions in the format: <appversion>_<appbuild>/<platformbuild>

The version comparator doesn't recognise _ and / and version separators so it gets confused.

For example: Services.vc.compare("67.0a1_1", "67.0_1") returns 1 instead of -1 like it should.

We should convert the separators to dots for comparison.
