If you clear the time bomb expiration dialog, another dialog appears.  This 
dialog saids, "This iversion has expired. You must download a newer version at 
http://www.mozilla.org".

reassigning to John.  I believe it's a preference problem.

Comment 3

accepted.  change to build config, QA to leaf.

I'll leave the absolute timebomb settings in the file and just disable the
timebomb pref for now in case anyone wants to re-enable it for betas, etc. in
the future.

bits. didn't see it on mac or linux [same build id].

set ns confidential since this should have been in bugscape.

I've attached a patch which disables timebombs on the trunk, but leaves the pres
there for turning on on future branch builds.  I need an r= from leaf or cls to
check it in.

Is there actually some reason this should be confidential and not just moved to
Bugscape?

r=leaf

I've read this again and can't find any reason to make it confidential so I'm
Moving it to bugscape and opening it up.
