2011902 - Firefox Nightly detected as new app because 'mozilla-official' as distribution channel used, at least on macOS,permission prompts by system and 1Password triggered

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

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

Description

[Sebastian Hengst [:aryx] (needinfo me if it's about an intermittent or backout)]

Users report Firefox Nightly 149.0a1 20260122072819 triggers permission prompts by the macOS system and 1Password because it's regarded as new app because it has the distribution ID mozilla-official now after the changes in bug 2010200.

Nightly updates have been halted to verify if this intended behavior and if yes, what's expected for beta and release.
