On Desktop, official builds use navclient-auto-ffox as a Safe Browsing client ID:

On Fennec, however, it's set to "Firefox":

We should make all official builds use the "official" client ID of "navclient-auto-ffox" and maybe non-official builds should use @MOZ_APP_UA_NAME@ if it's also set on desktop.

Can't use that variable on Desktop, it doesn't appear to be defined. However, we can use %NAME% which is normally defined as "Firefox".

The advantage of doing this is that we'll be able to tell things rebrands of Firefox apart in server-side error logs.

Bug 1397930 - Use the same Safe Browsing client ID on all official builds.

Maybe mention it to the Google guys if you still talk to them regularly. Doubt they'll notice much, though.

Will do, thanks.
Can you please review this simpler patch?

Google asked us to treat all forks the same ("Firefox").
