Description:
Arch Linux build of Firefox comes unbranded which is ok, except for the use of the Development Build page as the browser "Home Page". Even though it's usually changed by the user, it shouldn't be the default as it has a warning indicating the following:

"This version is now obsolete. For your own safety and security, please install an updated version."

This is the first page one sees.

Additional info:
* package version(s): every Firefox version since unbranded


Steps to reproduce:
Clean firefox install. Home Page button or open the browser and it takes you to these URL:

IMO this is upstream problem. Firefox users should really bug MoFo/MoCo to fix their build process to make 'unbranded'-built binaries behave as close to 'branded' as possible (same with multiple UserAgent change requests).
