787863 - Block partials to Firefox 15.0 for funnelcake13/14 on mac

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Release Engineering :: Release Requests, defect, P2)

Description

[Nick Thomas [:nthomas] (UTC+12)]

We have Firefox 14.0.1 users from the funnelcake13 and funnelcake14 pair where the partial to 15.0 doesn't apply, and the updater doesn't fail over to the complete. To work around this I'll create some null updates.

Rail, does this look vaguely sane enough to push to production ?

This got done on bug 788317 for more channels around the time of 15.0.1 coming out.
