1641863 - Upgrade Node 10.x (in preparation for ESR 78)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox Build System :: General, task, P1)

Description

[Ed Lee :Mardak]

As noted in bug 1547823 comment 28 we'll keep on the oldest Node LTS version 10 which just entered Maintenance last week: https://nodejs.org/about/releases/

The next Firefox ESR will be Firefox 78 currently in Nightly https://wiki.mozilla.org/Release_Management/Calendar

We're currently in 78 nightly soft freeze, so let's aim to upgrade Node early nightly 79 cycle (after June 1st) to make sure things are working on nightly before uplift.

At least from https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v10.20.0/ it looks like npm will also be updated to at least 6.14.3 where we're currently:

NODE_MIN_VERSION = StrictVersion("10.19.0")
NPM_MIN_VERSION = StrictVersion("6.13.4")
