Here's the problem: the UI guidelines (and I agree they are correct) say
the menus should contain "Mozilla Web Browser" or "Totem Media Player"

I'm not sure concatenating Name, GenericName always comes out right to
achieve that, especially with i18n in the picture.

So to follow the UI guidelines really the Name field has to be "Mozilla
Web Browser"

While I think GenericName in the spec is my fault, in retrospect it's
kind of crackrock and we should just have Name plus naming
conventions...
