The backward-compat check in AdsClient.sys.mjs tests MozAdsEnvironment.PROD for truthiness, but its value is 0, so on 157 and older it falls back to new MozAdsEnvironment.Prod(), which doesn't exist there.

The patch landed in nightly and beta is affected.

:ahanot, please make an uplift decision for beta:

  • For beta, nominate the patch for beta uplift approval if the fix should be included in this release, or set status-firefox158 to wontfix if the fix can wait for the next release.

See Requesting an Uplift for documentation on how to request an uplift.

The Rust-based change that is required by the AdsClient.sys.mjs library landed in 158 in bug 2071389, so 158 is not affected.
