I created a profile with the nightly `.tar.bz2` and one using the beta `.tar.bz2`.

I installed the `.deb` and opened the profile created by the nightly `.tar.bz2` and I was able to replicate the bug.

The profile created by the beta `.tar.bz2` didn't trigger the issue like :atrif pointed out.

In the profile's `prefs.js` created by the nightly `.tar.bz2` there is a line setting `distribution.iniFile.exists` to `false`:

```
user_pref("distribution.iniFile.exists.value", false);
```

In the profile created by the beta that preference is set to true:
```
user_pref("distribution.iniFile.exists.value", true);
```

I manually set `distribution.iniFile.exists` to `true` in the profile created by the nightly `.tar.bz2`  the build gets localized and I see the `Distribution ID` in `about:support`.

Also, I couldn't reproduce when the `.deb` is installed before the `.tar.bz2`(?)
