Reproducible on:
Firefox 41.0 (20150914185908)

Affected platforms:
All platforms.

Expected result:
The version string displayed for this build is "41.0".

Actual result:
"41.0b9" is displayed instead of "41.0", as version string.
This is because http://hg.mozilla.org/build/buildbot-configs/file/0cfcb6bc14e6/mozilla/release-firefox-mozilla-release.py.template#l55 doesn't bump browser/config/version_display.txt like beta does.

We were kinda tracking this in bug 1175331, but that wasn't set to block the merge (bug 1190766) or the release (bug 1188493).
I've landed the release config fixes at bug 1175331 comment #24, so if we do a 41.0 build2 it will get the correct value. Leaving open to see if we need to do anything else.

FWIW, we'd see it on Fennec too, except the display version doesn't quite work there (bug 1196373).
The Fennec 41.0 build1 did this
 http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-release/rev/6eb2409b59d1
Both version.txt and version_display.txt have '41.0' in them.

We'll be fine for Firefox too.

Verified this using Firefox 41 RC build 2, on Windows 8.1 x64, Mac OS X 10.10, and Ubuntu 14.04 x64, and "41.0" is now displayed as expected.
