1672218 - Create a special build for User Testing of update 2

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Address Bar, task, P2)

Description

[Marco Bonardo [:mak]]

I'm filing this bug mostly to properly track points and team velocity, the work here is intended to create (not on bugzilla nor central) a special build that Verdi can use to do User Testing.

Drew, since you've worked on this before and being a little bit cumbersome a process, can you take this on?

Comment 2

[Drew Willcoxon :adw]

I finished the build and sent Verdi a link in a Slack DM. I'll close this bug when I hear back and everything's OK.

Can you post the link here too for posterity?

Reopening because we want to disable the default-browser prompt.

It's the new default-browser infobar on newtab actually.

I meant to post the updated patch I used for this. It's the same as the patch in bug 1614087 but it suppresses the new default-browser infobar on newtab by setting browser.defaultbrowser.notificationbar.checklimit to zero. Since this patch modifies browser/app/profile/firefox.js, it will be bitrotted easily, but it's only due to that one small change.
