Title:
  Ubuntu build of Firefox lacks Google OAuth ID, prevents contact import
  in Hello

Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser:
  Confirmed
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Starting from verstion 34.0, Firefox, including Ubuntu build thereof, supports WebRTC based voice/video communication feature named "Hello":
  https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-hello-make-receive-calls-without-account

  This feature works in Ubuntu build, except importing contacts from Google account:
  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1106854
  Attempt to import contacts results in this Google error page:
  ====
  401. That’s an error.

  Error: invalid_client

  The OAuth client was not found.
  Request Details

      redirect_uri=urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob:auto
      client_id=no-google-oauth-api-clientid
  ====

  Apparently, for the import feature to work, the build needs to include Google OAuth Client ID. The process is discussed here:
  https://wiki.mozilla.org/Loop/OAuth_Setup

  Apparently, Ubuntu's build of Firefox does not include this Client ID.
  Please consider adding it. Hopefully then "Hello" will be fully functional, including contacts import.
