The "Feeds panel" section is Firefox 2 only. It should be be displayed when I have 3.0 or 3.5 selected. I noticed this when I saw other Firefox 2 content on other articles, like 

Probably a regression from bug 503146
It appears that showfor simply doesn't work on that page. Not even with firefox3 vs firefox3.5...?

Chris: can you try recreating the page? I have a feeling this is one of those inconsistent bugs. See if you can create more pages like this and every time showfor doesn't work.
Hm. Nevermind. It seems that 3 vs 3.5 works when they are both present. And indeed fx2 content seems to show up all the time. Even on "Clearing private data":

Firefox 2 has been removed from the list of browsers, so it never gets wrapped in showfor divs. Nothing is telling it it shouldn't be seen anymore.

Simple fix is to add it back into the list of possible browsers, and add it to the ignore content section. That way, it's hidden initially via inline CSS.

I'm not sure of the content policy on SUMO, but if it's not a selector in showfor, the auto-detection shouldn't detect 2 anymore. Or, rather, it shouldn't point to showfor's firefox2. It should point to firefox3 or firefox3.5.

showfor potentially needs rewritten for p10n, but that's still outside the scope of this bug.
Strangely enough, the "Mozilla is not planning any further security and stability updates for Firefox 2" content block is working properly.

If we can keep that working properly, and make article content display the website default (currently 3.5), that would be ideal.

Heh. This fix is actually the way I should've done it in the first place. Check it out, Fx2 content seems to be hidden now and all works as before.
