1914032 - WNP does not appear on startup when Firefox updates in the background

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Toolkit :: Application Update, defect, P3)

Description

Bug 1889785 is supposed to fix this issue. however QA confirmed that the issue still occurs when the STR from 1889785 is executed.
I did some logging and it appears platformVersion is not being written to update.xml properly, causing the value to be null during startup. This breaks the version comparison logic and causes WNP to not be shown (more details is in 1889785).

I'm going to use this ticket to track further investigation into this issue. I believe that once we can make sure platformVersion is written correctly to the XML file, the issue should be resolved.

I have verified the fix by running the steps from bug 1889785. After a background update from 127.0 to 131.0 the "what's new" page is now being displayed. This report is closed. Thank you!
