(Whiteboard: [about-home]) 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
 1. Download Aurora or Nightly.  Create a fresh profile, and start your build. Visit about:home (should happen automatically anyway)

ACTUAL RESULTS:
 The default snippet shown, with mention of Firefox:
> Thanks for choosing Firefox! To get the most out of your browser,
> learn more about the latest features.

I'd thought unbranded builds were generally supposed to use their codename (Nightly / Aurora in this case, or e.g. "IceWeasel") rather than Firefox.   It looks like we've got the string "Firefox" hard-coded into this snippet, though:
