Public bug reported:

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."
