This "canonical - 1.0" string comes from /usr/lib/firefox/distribution/distribution.ini. See https://wiki.mozilla.org/Distribution_INI_File.
And this is where these fields are used for the about dialog: https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla- central/file/tip/browser/base/content/aboutDialog.js. This could easily be patched by changing the value of distroIdField.hidden to true in https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla- central/file/tip/browser/components/preferences/in-content/main.js#l503. But as pointed out by Chris, this decision is better left for upstream. Please file a bug at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi#h=dupes%7CFirefox to request for this field to be hidden by default, or to provide distributors with a preference to hide it. -- 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.
