This is the result of invalid user-agent sniffing. See my
<http://www.rossde.com/internet/sniffing.shtml>.
Agreed. Perhaps, they are just sniffing the last string that is
available in the useragent. For example, when I go to many of those
``whatismyuseragent'' websites, they will truncate down my useragent
into simply ``Lightning 4.4,'' because I am using the latest version of
the Lightning calendar add-on which appends itself onto the end of my
user agent string (after the SeaMonkey/2.xx bit). I am assuming it sees
``SeaMonkey/2.xx'' or ``Lightning/4.4'' and assumes that you're using
some ancient or non-existent non web-compliant browser. To fix this,
couldn't we try always reporting the Firefox/x.x bit at the end of the
UA string to deal with invalid sniffing? or is that not the issue in
this circumstance?
