961174 - Code to determine if add-ons are compatible with a new program version is duplicated

Status: RESOLVED INACTIVE

(Toolkit :: Add-ons Manager, defect)

Description

[:Irving Reid (No longer working on Firefox)]

We have duplicated or partly duplicated code to check whether installed add-ons are compatible with a new version of the application in four places:

https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/9bcc52594322/browser/base/content/aboutDialog.js#l383

https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/9bcc52594322/browser/metro/base/content/flyoutpanels/AboutFlyoutPanel.js#l374

https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/9bcc52594322/toolkit/mozapps/update/nsUpdateService.js#l2850

https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/9bcc52594322/toolkit/mozapps/update/content/updates.js#l546

This should probably be moved into a shared utility.
