For comparison, the beta "About Thunderbird" says: "You are currently on the beta update channel."

I find no previous reports of this for Firefox https://mzl.la/3XMwkt8

This is the design for Daily. Do we have a design that could be implemented for the monthly release channel?

Actually...this may be a question for Rob based on bug 1797886?

I believe Beta and ESR show the channel, so we could follow suit with them.

It's by design apparently. Firefox does it this way. We don't have to follow suit.

Interesting.
From a support POV I strongly believe we should be explicit in showing the channel.
