Whatever it was, it just went away after a reboot tonight, for no apparent reason.

Resolving bug.

I think it was caused by bug 199386, and I'm seeing this too, rebooting doesn't
help.

I'm seeing it too with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6b)
Gecko/20031130 Firebird/0.7+

Reopening.

Yup, I'm seeing this on Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6b)
Gecko/20031202 Firebird/0.7+ as well. This should really get fixed by 0.8,
because its a major branding issue, although it doesn't affect functionality.

I posted on the MozillaZine forum about some searching I did for it.

I've started seeing it recently in my own builds (non-installer), though it
hasn't been bothering me. I searched the source tree and so far I only found one
occurrance, in browser/app/splash.rc.

See line 68-72[1]:
>STRINGTABLE DISCARDABLE
>BEGIN
>    ID_DDE_APPLICATION_NAME,            "Mozilla Firebird Debug"
>    IDS_STARTMENU_APPNAME,              "Mozilla Firebird Debug"
>END

It happened with this change[2], when Ben put in the new download system, back
on Nov 26 16:54. The strings used to say "Mozilla Firebird" but was changed to
"Mozilla Firebird Debug".

I'm pretty sure someone can patch that and have it changed back, unless there's
some odd unknown thing dependent on it. (Unlikely.)

Bah, lol.  Fixed by Ben just now, apparantly:
