Description (last modified by tlucas)
Background
In #6371 we want to self-host our extension for firefox again. For that to work, we need to provide a different extension ID and a different update-URL in the manifest.
What to change
Change mainfest.json.tmpl in buildtools to generate the following entries in the extensions manifest ONLY when no release-build is created, only when building for Firefox ( build.py build -t gecko ):
{
"applications": {
"gecko": {
"id": "devbuild@adblockplus.org",
...
}
},
...
}
Note that "devbuild@adblockplus.org" is an arbitrary id, chosen by us.
