Title:
Reduce the amount of data sent in HTTP requests
Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Binary package hint: firefox
Mozilla is currently reducing, for the sakes of privacy and bandwidth, the
amount of data sent per HTTP request by trimming inessential text from the
useragent string.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=572650
I notice Ubuntu’s Firefox adds ‘Ubuntu/XX.XX (codename)’ into the useragent,
and that beyond the privacy issue, there is redundant information here.
For example, Ubuntu/10.04 (lucid) is sent in each request from my system.
Suggested Fixex.
1. Remove ‘(%codename%)’ by unsetting general.useragent.vendorComment
2. Consider removing the distro revision by unsetting
general.useragent.vendorSub
3. Consider removing Ubuntu altogether by unsetting general.useragent.vendor
