There is actually an operational difference. In the about:config page

No, that's a problem with the web site. Go to Mozilla.org, and
you'll see that the current version in 2.0.0.1.

I think his point wasn't so much the version number as the name in front
of it. Websites don't know what Iceweasel is, they do know what Firefox is.
