I've also uploaded this change to the beta PPA for people not running Precise (although it won't be built and published until tomorrow).
Anyone is free to test it once it's built (of course, we would gladly welcome extra, more permanent beta testers - see http://www.chriscoulson.me.uk/blog/?p=19 for ways to help) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/897794 Title: Firefox 8 User Agent String "Ubuntu;" addition causes attempt to download rather than display Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: The patch added by Chris Coulson in the FF 8 packages to add "Ubutnu;" to FireFox's User Agent string has caused some sites to start offering a download of a "application/vnd.wap.xhtml+xml" or similar file. This change seems to have caused an issue with 51degrees.com's .NET Mobile Framework. Visiting a site that uses the framework now prompts to download an "application/vnd.wap.xhtml+xml" file. Obviously, this is likely the fault of the framework, and not Ubuntu. But I felt it should be logged, and I could not find any launchpad bug regarding this change. debian/patches/ubuntu-ua-string-changes.patch > Description: Add "Ubuntu" to the platform part of the UA string > Author: Chris Coulson <[email protected]> The User Agent changed from: > Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:7.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/7.0.1 to > Mozilla/5.0 (Ubuntu; X11; Linux x86_64; rv:8.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/8.0 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/897794/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
