Obviously this issue was fixed at some time during the last 7 years.
Firefox 61.0.1 shows "Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu canonical -1.0" so
marking as "Fix Released".
** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed => Fix Released

Title:
Ubuntu's version of Firefox says "You are currently on the update
channel" in Help|About
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
STR:
1. Start up Ubuntu's version of Firefox.
2. Visit Help|About Firefox
ACTUAL RESULTS:
It says "You are currently on the update channel."
(Note the missing channel-name between "the" and "update". The dialog has 2
spaces there, and no channel-name.)
EXPECTED RESULTS:
Something like "You are currently on the <b>Ubuntu Packaging</b> update
channel", or no mention of an update channel at all.
This presumably happens because Ubuntu ships a version of firefox with
Mozilla's update-channels disabled, and sends updates via its
packaging system. This makes sense; still, it's incorrect to say "You
are currently on the update channel".
For comparison, the Firefox 7 official release (from Mozilla) says
"You are currently on the <b>release</b> update channel."
(NOTE: In my own locally-built mozilla-central debug builds with
"ac_add_options --disable-updater", there's no mention of an update
channel at all in the About dialog. It looks like Ubuntu's firefox
builds are built with --disable-updater, too, so I'd expect them to
have the same results -- not sure why they don't.)
