Daniel, this issue is fixed both for mobile and desktop. The other
verifications were also made on X.Y versions since none of the builds in
beta, aurora and central are ever X.Y.Z. When they get release, if an
X.Y.Z version is released, I will also verify this bug on that version.

Title:
  Firefox user-agent string is too unique

Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser:
  Fix Released
Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  As shown on http://panopticlick.eff.org

  The useragent string "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64;
  rv:10.0.2) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/10.0.2" is too unique and in
  combination with a fairly unique plugin list this allows browser
  fingerprint tracking, which is bad for privacy.

  I would suggest this change:
  Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:10.0.2) Gecko/20100101 
Firefox/10.0.2
  Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:10.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/10.0

  This removes makes the version number less unique. Also the Gecko
  version could be made a bit more generic.
