Thanks for the links. Maybe Mozilla wouldn’t mind us hiding the distribution info altogether, though I doubt it. I think it’s perfectly reasonable for them to require an easy way for users to distinguish customized versions of Firefox.
Fortunately, it’s a mistake to suggest that hiding it is the only solution to this problem. It certainly isn’t the solution I suggested nine years ago. The problem is not the visibility of the data, it’s the contents of the data. I don’t know where our current distribution.ini is (it doesn’t seem to be linked anywhere from <https://code.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox>). But if I read the upstream code correctly, the only part of this bug that’s blameable on upstream is the hyphen. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/418203 Title: "Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu canonical - 1.0" doesn't make sense Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Firefox 3.5.2, Ubuntu Karmic alpha 4 Firefox 37.0.2, Ubuntu 14.04 1. From the "Help" menu, choose "About". What you see: * "Firefox version 3.5.2" or similar * "Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu canonical - 1.0" What's wrong with this: * "canonical" is not capitalized. * There's no such thing as "Ubuntu canonical". * It uses a hyphen where, if the text even made sense, it should use a dash. * It's unclear what "1.0" refers to in contrast with the Firefox version number. What you should see: * "Firefox 3.5.2", "Firefox 37.0.2", or similar * "Canonical customizations 1.0" or similar.
