Comment 1

[:glob ✱]

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.

Comment 2

[:glob ✱]

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.

this fix for this was accidentally committed as part of http://git.mozilla.org/?p=webtools/bmo/bugzilla.git;a=commitdiff;h=2a9db67806fbc2483afce36e0660f03a99b5ec5f [github] instead of separately.
