Diff mozconfigs

From a mozilla-release checkout, ran:

for p in linux32 linux64 macosx-universal win32; do diff -Naur {,../mozilla-beta/}browser/config/mozconfigs/$p/release; done

Got the following output:

Not a critical change, but it'll get picked up when Release Management does the merge, so didn't take any action.
