Comment(by DC):
Replying to [ticket:9501 DC]:
A possibly even better idea is for TorButton to have a list of the 10 -
100 most common UA strings for Firefox and have it randomly pick a
different string every once in a while. If the UA is selected with a
probability distribution that matches the actual frequency of these UAs in
the wild, TorBrowser could be blending into a sizeable crowd of Firefox
users. Then perhaps have TorButton download a new list once a year or
something like that.
