2067701 - Package the notification helper with Firefox

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Installer, task)

Description

[Antonio Borondo [:aborondo] (he/him)]

As a developer I want the notification helper to be packaged and distributed with Firefox, so that it can be installed and updated together with Firefox.

Commit 3052c53 from the POC can be used as a reference to start development.

Acceptance criteria:

• The helper is packaged and distributed with Firefox.
• During installation and uninstallation, the helper is stopped before any of its files are replaced or removed.
• Before applying a Firefox update, ensure that the helper isn't running.

The component has been changed since the backlog priority was decided, so we're resetting it.
