1542579 - GV's about:support page's Application Name says "Fennec"

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(GeckoView :: General, defect, P2)

Description

[Chris Peterson [:cpeterson]]

This bug was originally filed in the Fenix issue tracker:
https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/1353

I can reproduce this bug in Fenix, Focus, and the Reference Browser.

GV's about:support page's Application Name should probably just be "GeckoView" or the actual app name (e.g. "Fenix" or "Focus"). Can we use the Socorro product name the app initializes the crash reporter with?

[Chris Peterson [:cpeterson]]

mheubusch suggests that we just use "GeckoView" as the Application Name. That will be less work than letting the app set about:support's Application Name.

Hi Snorp, is shipping in GV74 good enough here or should we nominate this for Beta uplift for GV73 too?

Yeah I don't think this is urgent enough to warrant uplift.
