Using mozilla navigator to see the update site, the first time I enter I get the
firefox downloads. After reloading I get the mozilla downloads and everything
seems fine. It has happened just a few times, it seems the error is triggered
just the first time entering the web. Restarting the browser doesn't seem to
help to reproduce it. I've somehow reproduced it with a new profile.

It happens too with the /extensions/ and /themes/ directories.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start mozilla navigator with a new profile
2. Go to http://update.mozilla.org/
3. 

Actual Results:  
In the right column it will read "Most popular Firefox Extensions.", etc.

Expected Results:  
It should read "Most popular Mozilla Extensions.". That's what happens when the
page is reloaded.

Are you sure this is a duplicate? The other bug refers to a logo or the lack of
browser detection: "There should be either no Firefox logo or dynamic browser
checking should automatically take the visitor to the browser's page which user
is using.". This bug is about wrong browser detection.

For the record, I'm seeing this bug every now and then, it seems to happen randomly.
