the current logic has

  if (user agent contains "Gecko/20100101")
    Beta/Release
  else
    Nightly/Aurora

there appears to be a recent change to firefox's user agent which broke this.  i'm chatting with the fx devs to see if there are any other options available to us.

Ever confirmed: true
it wasn't a recent change; the UA changed in firefox 25 (via bug 728773).

given it's been broken for so long, and there doesn't appear to be an easy way to detect it anymore, we should just remove it.
