What the application is called in GUI-elements doesn't really matter all
that much. It does after all simplify package-management slightly when
the decision has been made not to make it a default upgrade on old
distributions.

That the browser identifies itself as Shiretoko to websites is however a
problem. It seem to be a string that is carried over in the config for
users who already used a beta and then upgraded to final later. 3.5.x
final should ideally update this during its first startup along with the
check for add-on compatibility etc.  Users do however have the ability
to change it later by opening "about:config" in the location bar, search
for "general.useragent.extra.firefox" and change it from
"Shiretoko/3.5.x" to "Firefox/3.5.x". That does seem to fix the problems
I've had with browser compatibility on some sites. I don't know whether
there are sites that rely on being able to identify "Shiretoko" though.
