1864824 - getBrowserInfo().name returns "Firefox Nightly"

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Firefox for Android :: WebExtensions, defect)

Description

[Sébastien Règne]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/119.0

Steps to reproduce:

• Load extension as attachment (which only print browser.runtime.getBrowserInfo() and browser.runtime.getPlatformInfo()).
• Open console.

Actual results:

{ name: "Firefox Nightly", vendor: "Mozilla", version: "121.0a1", buildID: "20231114213927" }
{ os: "android", arch: "aarch64" }

The name contains "Nightly".

Expected results:

{ name: "Firefox", vendor: "Mozilla", version: "121.0a1", buildID: "20231114213927" }
{ os: "android", arch: "aarch64" }

The name doesn't contain "Nightly".

Attachment: nightly.zip

• manifest.json:

{
  "manifest_version": 3,
  "name": "Test case",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "background": {
    "scripts": ["background.js"],
    "type": "module"
  }
}

• background.js:

console.log(await browser.runtime.getBrowserInfo());
console.log(await browser.runtime.getPlatformInfo());

I'm opening this bug to have the same value in Firefox Nightly on desktop and on Android.

Values in:

• Firefox Nightly on Ubuntu: Firefox
• Firefox Nightly on Android: Firefox Nightly
• Firefox on Ubuntu: Firefox
