Re: variety, It might be hard but jujubeeTX and I would surely give you some close guesses if you take a couple of pic of a ripe fig. Here is a pic I took last year, I think.

About falling off - I had all of them fall off from a potted Celeste. It was clearly due to overwatering - we were having a frog strangler every evening for about 5 days AND this one was potted in some dirt that might not have drained well. (I bought some better container soil from a good local nursery for re-potting now.) None of the 5 different var. of bearing trees I have planted in the ground had this problem and all are still full of figs.
