At the bottom of about:, we display the buildid. Mozilla/5.0 (Android; Linux armv7l; rv:12.0a1) Gecko/20111221 Firefox/12.0a1 Fennec/12.0a1 At the top of about:, we already display the version, so we don't have to repeat it three times. We also know that we're running Mozilla/Gecko/Firefox/Fennec/whatever on Android. The only interesting part is the build date. On Nightly or Aurora, I want to know if I'm a couple of days or weeks behind. Desktop Firefox just displays the build date after the version for Nightly and Aurora builds: 12.0a1 (2011-12-21) Because of space contraints (the logo is so big), I propose to display it like this: 12.0a1 (2011-12-21)

Stolen from http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/base/content/aboutDialog.js#70 plus getting the version from the preprocessor plus the <hr> tag.

Comment on attachment 583619 [details] [diff] [review] patch Looks good and removing the UA seems like a good thing too. We can always add that part back if someone really wants it.
