I think it is reasonable that we do the same for Thunderbird - it is a bit strange that it says Alpha 1/Alpha 2 when it is always that according to the branch, and the branding will tell us the difference between branches anyway.

Attachment: The fix

This blanks the pre-release suffix like Firefox did. The removals in jquery land are just because jquery doesn't get preprocessed at all, so it is pointless putting additional pre-process variables in there.

The fix

Blake said he's happy with the idea, and I'd like to get this hitting the branches fairly soon, especially as we can't do first beta until we get it.
