Ubuntu maverick is still affected by this bug. According to https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Gecko_user_agent_string_reference the string should be: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101206 Firefox/3.6.13
but it now is: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101206 Ubuntu/10.10 (maverick) Firefox/3.6.13 Some websites don't think this browser is firefox, and in one particular case I got redirected to the mobile version of a website. On reading up on this issue in this bug report, some people think it's not that important, but it's kinda stupid to have to report to webmasters that I cannot see their website on firefox under linux. They discard it as being a niche issue and don't address it. We could make a case to such webmasters if ubuntu at least followed the instructions for the user agent string set by the mozilla developers. case in point: http://www.crmart.be redirects me to http://m.crmart.be while on all other browsers (os x, windows, but also chromium on linux) redirects correctly to /nl/index.php -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/48316 Title: Firefox user-agent is malformed -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
