Can you please detect I'm using Firefox, and not show the "Download Firefox" banner on top? I'll be able to save a few pixels of vertical space.

Firefox takes privacy so seriously that they fail to detect you are on Firefox, if you are using Firefox!
But not seriously enough to remove Google Analytics from their website.
Google currently pays for Firefox development. Are you ready to be the money source instead?
I looked because I was curious, and on both desktop and mobile, in all browsers, the site's topnav includes their Mozilla logo, a Download Firefox button, and links to a couple of other Mozilla sites about Internet Health and Donate.

I imagine they could still choose to hide the blue button when you're on Firefox, but that wouldn't save you any vertical space, since the topnav menu of links and logo would remain.

It's there always in the same place so you can download Firefox for someone else, or for another device.
