On B2G Desktop/Mulet, the user agent string is:
> Mozilla/5.0 (rv:38.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/38.0

On Firefox OS Simulator (FXOS_SIMULATOR flag), we have:
> Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Mobile; rv:38.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/38.0

Having B2G Destop, Mulet, and Firefox OS Simulator having the same user agent string makes sense and would help fixing some mochitests.
I disagree. There's no reason b2g desktop should pretend to be Mobile when it's not running as FXOS_SIMULATOR. I don't care too much about Mulet.

So B2G Desktop Linux shows the "Mobile" substring.
And that's because ... http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/b2g/try-builds/alissy@mozilla.com-b92db483929d/try-linux64_gecko/try-linux64_gecko-bm75-try1-build4736.txt.gz :

When removed, it fails also on B2G Desktop: https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=877652fc8efa&exclusion_state=all

Simpler option: make specialpowersAPI.js a preprocessed file, and just do:

get isB2G() {
#ifdef MOZ_B2G
  return true;
#else
  return false;
#endif
}

r=me with this or Fabrice's solution.

Some mochitests needs to behave differently when ran on B2G Desktop.
Currently, this is implemented using user agent string detection,
mostly relying on "Mobile" being present and "Android" being absent.
This is only true on B2G Desktop when ran on Try because the mozconfig
defined FXOS_SIMULATOR and that, per bug 1115935, this substring is only
added in this case, but not if just MOZ_B2G is defined. A better
approach is to expose 'isB2G' in SpecialPowers for this kind of
detection.

Are you sure you need that?
According to the doc, you're right it's not needed. Thanks for spotting it
