If someone has another firefox-derived browser installed with a different name and tries to use it, this default wouldn't do the right "firefoxy" thing, and would instead fail strangely. On the other hand, right now it'll fail anyway, just not strangely.

So your proposed change would decrease the number of failures, but increase the strangeness of the remaining failures. Maybe that's the right thing to do though.
