User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100722 Firefox/3.6.8 GTB7.1

Setting app.update.channel to beta for both products downloads a different codebase, which is either evil or wrong.

Doing an update in Minefield installs Beta4 and Firefox 4 installs Beta2.

Both should install Beta4.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download Minefield (3.7) and Firefox 4
2. Set app.update.channel to beta in each
3. Do Help -> Update in each
4. Select About and compare versions

David, does this still reproduce when using a current version?
