  (Note the missing channel-name between "the" and "update".  The dialog has 2 spaces there, and no channel-name.)
  
  EXPECTED RESULTS:
-  Something like "You are currently on the <b>Ubuntu Packaging</b> update channel" or something like that.

  This presumably happens because Ubuntu ships a version of firefox with
  Mozilla's update-channels disabled, and sends updates via its packaging
  system.  This makes sense; still, it's incorrect to say "You are
  currently on the  update channel".
  
  For comparison, the Firefox 7 official release (from Mozilla) says "You
  are currently on the <b>release</b> update channel."
