Issues

build1

• nthomas checked all 13 of the update verify failures for 45.0.1esr, and they all come from a Balrog config issue, and in turn to the overlap of ESR38 and ESR45. The failing updates start from ESR24/31/38, Balrog serves 38.7.1esr on esr-localtest, which applies OK but then we do a diff against 45.0.1esr. We'd probably have to use a separate channel to make this work. We'll need a build2 because we're not fixing the update-settings.ini file when updating to 45.0.1esr, and get this diff for updated vs installer:

diff -r source/firefox/update-settings.ini target/firefox/update-settings.ini
5c5
< ACCEPTED_MAR_CHANNEL_IDS=firefox-mozilla-release
---
> ACCEPTED_MAR_CHANNEL_IDS=firefox-mozilla-esr
{{bug|1255245}} ESR45 generates mar files with the wrong channel ID

• intermittent antivirus failures bug 1248299 Frequent antivirus job failures with IncompleteRead after several retries. Jordan and nthomas fixed the failures
• display version shows up at 45.0 because we're not bumping version_display.txt, bug 1257230
