Comment (by gk):

 Replying to [comment:6 boklm]:
 > I have not yet tried doing a build using this branch. I can also change
 it to use the version from `browser/config/version.txt` rather than the
 Tor Browser version if that's better.

 Yes, that would be better because currently this breaks building Tor
 Browser using already built artifacts in case we don't need to rebuild the
 browser part: Users building, say 7.0.2, from scratch would get a
 different result than we which just redid the bundle part and used, say
 7.0.1, otherwise (maybe 7.0.2 just needed a newer Torbutton). So, we need
 something that changes only if a newer Firefox is built to construct
 `MOZ_BUILD_DATE`.
