We can't reasonably assume that every Linux user is using Ubuntu. Market-share-wise, that would be roughly equivalent to assuming that every browser user is using Internet Explorer. :-)
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=572650 describes a worthy goal, but nothing about that requires treating Ubuntu *differently* from other OSes. As long as it is possible to distinguish Windows and Mac OS X users by the UA string, it should be possible to distinguish Ubuntu users too. Even if naming the kernel in the UA string is important (I don't know why, but maybe it is), Firefox should treat Ubuntu exactly the same as it treats Android and Maemo, which also use Linux as their kernel: that is, have "(Ubuntu; Linux;...)" just like it has "(Android; Linux;...)" and "(Maemo; Linux;...)". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/709125 Title: User agent doesn't include Ubuntu in it so apt.ubuntu.com doesn't work -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
