Not all web browsers have the same capabilities. When dealing with
widely different classes of browsers, say mobile versus desktop,
sniffing the useragent string is a reasonable way to get information
from the client to deal with issues like screen sizes etc. Libraries
like WURFL ensure that
For me live.com email services break. I can type e-mails, but when I
send them, the receiver tells me they are empty. (As can also be seen in
the Sent folder). It works fine with the firefox user-agent string.

We should probably just close this bug as 'invalid':

updated its branding and all I see is libprotobuf3

user which makes me wonder why they put it

Before I begin, I will echo what others have said, in that sites that
restrict access to certain user-agents are mostly wrong in doing so.

NoBugs, you can change the value permanently by making the change I
originally suggested:
1) Type 'about:config' into the address bar of a new tab
2) Say you 'are sure' or whatever it asks you if it does
3) Type 'general.useragent.extra.firefox' into the search bar on the page
4) Double click
I had already tried changing that about:config

I agree with Michael on that.
The only reason I can think of why Firefox 3.5 is Shiretoko in Ubuntu is
because Ubuntu is awaiting for the approval of Mozilla Foundation to use
the branding because of the modification it made to the code of Firefox.
If that's so then it should be told as the
If sites must update the codename every time that is a new version of Firefox
or other browsers, it will be a nightmare.
Why should anyone care about codenames? And what is the Agent string
meaningless then?

@Everyone
This problem is bigger than just Ubuntu labeling Firefox 3.5 as Shiretoko.
Anyone can take the source of Firefox and brand their own browser and that
shouldn't make a difference on the web landscape. Debian does it, they have
Iceweasel. Websites do not need to update their code
@Micah
Thank you for your work on this bug.
However, I must disagree with you. Being that Mozilla does not ship with
the codename in the user agent string Ubuntu should make sure it has a
good reason to deviate from upstream.
I think we all agree that web developers should code for

Vanguard is another high profile site that parses the user agent when it

If you use a User Agent Switcher https://www.citicards.com works,
otherwise the flash over the login box prevents logging in. (But this
isn't specific to 3.5) Workaround for this site is to manually
right click to play the flash without looping, then after it plays once
you can login.
I think we'll find that many banking websites are also silly enough to
