Details
We want people to use Nightly and to associate it with Firefox, currenlty our branding strings (brandShortName and brandFullName) only call it Nightly. Since we want more people to use Nightly, updating these strings for Firefox Nightly makes sense.
Blocks: 1351268
I guess this is a pretty nice good-first-bug, can you point out the location of those strings to be changed so that I can work on this, also, do you know anyone who would be okay with mentoring this and reviewing the patch ? Thanks

I think this needs to be evaluated by official team.

Jeff, can you make a call here?
Flags: needinfo?(jgriffiths)
Seems reasonable but you need to message this across teams, particularly mozilla.org ( David Tenser ) and SUMO to get websites and whatever else in sync if they're using "Nightly" without the Firefox. +1

I will try to do a patch (I did it for Fennec)

(In reply to Sylvestre Ledru [:sylvestre] from comment #8) > Because the comment above is pretty scary: > # BrandFullNameInternal is used for some registry and file system values > # instead of BrandFullName and typically should not be modified. Yeah, I had forgotten about that. The problem is that over in defines.nsi.in we define BrandFullName as BrandFullNameInternal, so a) that needs to be changed as well, and b) there might be negative implications of those things no longer being the same. Let me look into it for a bit.
(In reply to Matt Howell [:mhowell] from comment #9) > Let me look into it for a bit. Okay, we're good; BrandShortName is only used for shortcuts, which we support changing the name of, and for logs. I was worried about registry entries, but those do use BrandFullNameInternal. But we do need to remove http://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/installer/windows/nsis/defines.nsi.in#39 as part of this, and move that define into the other branding files.

That means the other branding.nsi files need to get BrandFullName defined in them as well (just defining it to ${BrandFullNameInternal} as it currently is in defines.nsi.in will work fine for those).

On mozilla.org, we already say Firefox Nightly on our download pages: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/channel/desktop/#nightly https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/nightly/all/ Our styleguide was already using Firefox Nightly as wordmark and in its wording: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/styleguide/identity/firefox/wordmarks/#firefox-nightly MDN has one page about Firefox Nightly features and also calls it Firefox Nightly https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Experimental_features I'll send the message to David and other web content owners about the product name change but fortunately it seems that all of Mozilla already talks about Nightly as Firefox Nightly :)
Should the unofficial branding (which I assume is for local builds, not builds we propose for download) be also updated? http://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/branding/unofficial/locales/en-US/brand.dtd

Has somebody reviewed where we use brandShortName from the dtd and properties files in-product? The whole point of having brandShortName vs. brandFullName is that there are contexts where the full string is too long, looks or feels cumbersome etc., and making Nightly behave differently from release in this regard seems undesirable.

(In reply to Sylvestre Ledru [:sylvestre] from comment #24) > This isn't respected, for example: > <!ENTITY brandShortName "Firefox Developer Edition"> Correct, we already broke our own pattern there, but that doesn't seem like a good enough reason to repeat that here. Thankfully that code is dead now anyway, afaik. DevEdition was also so radically different that it wasn't a very useful testbed for the UI anyway. I care more about Nightly being consistent with Beta and Release.

Jeff, is it too late to change this for 57, with comment 28 in particular? If so, please mark 57wontfix. Note: if we're ever going to change the name of the main Firefox binary, having this bug nailed is a pre-requisite.

This is a nightly only change, so, it won't impact 57 beta but yeah, let's wait until m-c == 58

Flags: needinfo?(sledru)
Is there a reason why it's "FirefoxNightly" and not "Firefox Nightly" in the menu bar of macOS? I don't think that whitespaces are a problem, because other applications also have whitespaces, for example "Photoshop CC", so there seems to be another reason. In the dock it's "Firefox Nightly" with whitespace.

I'm surprised that this landed without testing updates on a branch such as Oak first. This causes issues such as bug 1404717, i.e. we prompt all users again if they had "Nightly" set as default browser. Further, I'm concerned about bug 1404717 comment 2. macOS does a lot of name/signature matching to whitelist our browser. This could break things in a lot of unforeseen ways. We should have given QE a chance to find bugs and bang these issues out before landing on m-c.

Displaying "FirefoxNightly" in the menu bar really doesn't look great.

Sorry about that, I didn't similar changes with Fennec, my tests with Linux didn't show any regression and the CI didn't show any symptoms. I didn't know that Mac was relying on package names :/ Sorry again.

Currently the Nightly app bundle is called >FirefoxFirefoxNightly.app<, i'm guessing because of >--with-macbundlename-prefix=Firefox< and this change.
Matthias, Could you please report a bug for that? Thanks
Ryan, would you mind doing a backout of that patch? Dolske is concerned about potential regressions and we don't have the bandwidth to manage potential unexpected regressions right now. I will land that after 57 is released.

Oh, I guess the other patch is supposed to deal with this. I hadn't looked at that. The order of these patches is a bit confusing.
