(using the script `projects/firefox/get-moz-build-date`), so it does not
change when we don't change the firefox version. An other option could be
to generate it based on the Tor Browser version number, so that it is
changing even when the firefox version is not.
That's an interesting idea. However, I remember getting that right was not
trivial and I feel there is no need to introduce new side effects so close
to the release. I think the patch is not big and well understood and does
its job (nice work mcs/brade!) which sounds like the ideal candidate for
8.0.
