Title:
  Ubuntu's version of Firefox says "You are currently on the  update
  channel" in Help|About

Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  STR:
   1. Start up Ubuntu's version of Firefox.
   2. Visit Help|About Firefox

  ACTUAL RESULTS:
    It says "You are currently on the  update channel."
  (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."
