Details

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050602 Firefox/1.0+ Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050602 Firefox/1.0+ The current build identifier in firefox builds (and presumably other applications) is not enough to uniquely identify the build. The build identifier should include the minute of the build since we have machines building faster than once an hour. It might also be a good idea to use the cvs checkout time as the identifier rather than generate it during the build. This would make it easier to track which checkins the build has. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: See also bug 70903 and bug 244485 which are other build id improvements and these changes could all be lumped together.
Confirming. This should help track down regression causes.
