Comment (by pospeselr):

 Ok, latest patch (13398-pospeselr5.patch) just rips out the offending code
 and returns empty string for all requested properties, assuming ESR59 is
 not defined.  Verified working on linux and windows, building on macOS.
 Version 5 is the same as version 4, except it doesn't 'fix' trailing
 whitespace (new settings config, who dis?).

 I couldn't find any existing firefox version defines, but if any exist I'm
 happy to use them.
