@Micah Thank you for your work on this bug.
However, I must disagree with you. Being that Mozilla does not ship with the codename in the user agent string Ubuntu should make sure it has a good reason to deviate from upstream. I think we all agree that web developers should code for functionality and not user-agent string sniffing but that battle is outside the scope of this bug. What is the value add of including the code name of the release when the user-agent string also has the version number? Debian choosing to make a certain decision is interesting but insufficient in itself for Ubuntu to follow -- isn't that the point of Ubuntu that different decisions are made to be more pragmatic in regards to the needs of a typical user? In summary: "Shiretoko/3.5" adds no value and leads to a loss of functionality. In the spirit of pragmatism and simplicity Ubuntu should ship Firefox 3.5 in a manner consistent with upstream. -- Shiretoko user agent string breaks compatibilty with major websites https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/397211 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
