According to the comments in milestone.txt, its purpose it to update the
hard-coded version number for all files in the source tree. However,
mozilla/browser/installer/windows/installer.cfg appears to be an exception to
that rule, as GREVersion is still given as 1.7.5 instead of 1.8a6. Should
installer.cfg be linked so that the GREVersion number changes according to the
value given in milestone.txt?

Reproducible: Always

This got fixed a while back by checkins for localization. It is *not* fixed in
tbird, so please file a separate bug if we want this for tbird also.

Any idea why installer.cfg still shows GREVersion as 1.7.5 instead of 1.8b3? It
does matter since GREVersion is written to the registry by the installer.
