I agree. However, it seems this is a "done deal". It was discussed thoroughly both here and in the bug report. See <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=572650>. Apparently, Robert Kaiser was not happy about this. See <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=591617>. The result of all this has been several bug reports against Mozilla Web sites -- especially <https://addons.mozilla.org/> -- that sniff the UA string. It appears that all aspects of this change were not really evaluated. Bug #572650 may be breaking more than it fixes. Note that, this bug report really does not describe a discrepancy in software; yet the developers refuse to classify it as an RFE (request for enhancement). -- David E.
