Description

cc @fbertsch @mdboom

I noticed that firefox-android-release depends on org.mozilla.components:browser-engine-gecko-beta (with the beta suffix) rather than the release version org.mozilla.components:browser-engine-gecko. Is that intended? If so, we should add a comment to the yaml explaining why. If not, then are we stuck with this dependency for compatibility's sake?

Research direction

Locate the YAML entry defining the firefox-android-release dependency and inspect how its browser-engine-gecko artifact is selected. Confirm whether the beta dependency is intentional or required for compatibility; done means either documenting the rationale in YAML or changing to the release artifact, with validation of the affected release configuration.
