1760884 - Firefox about page says it's up to date, context menu nags to update

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1643309

(Toolkit :: Application Update, defect)

Description

[abugz20]

Steps to reproduce:

On the most recent release of macOS, use Firefox I downloaded a few weeks ago.

Also, aus5.mozilla.org returns NXDOMAIN by the local network resolver.

Actual results:

Firefox pops-up from the top-right context menu saying it's out of date and to click there to download the latest version. That takes me to Mozilla's official Firefox download page.

But selecting Firefox > About says "Firefox is up to date" (even though it's version 98.0.1 which doesn't appear the latest on the Mozilla site).

Expected results:

Firefox should not say it's up to date when it isn't, it should say it can't check for updates like Google Chrome when aus5.mozilla.org can't be reached.
