If we change backwards-compatibility for standardized web features, it's 
a bug and something we need to fix ASAP.

On everything else there can't be any guarantee, but we can only support 
the most current Firefox release, beta, and Aurora there.

Unfortunately in my eyes, we're dropping "Mozilla" in too many places.

But apart from there, there's no need for that. There is a need to make 
it pretty clear if people are on the most-current Firefox release, beta 
or Aurora, which are supported and secure, or on *anything else*, which 
is not supported and not secure. A version number does not matter at all 
there, "current" and "release/beta/aurora" (or "nightly" which is 
bleeding edge development and never completely supported or tested) is 
all that matters.
