** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: firefox-3.5
  
  I've also read this bug:
-  https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/394321
+  https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/394321
  
  I think we can all agree that sites which test for user agent strings
  are pretty lame but can we also agree that changing an about:config
  value in Fi^H^HShiretoko to have it report as Firefox (since that's what
  it really is) would be a huge benefit to users of this package?
  
  Major sites like facebook.com and (probably most) live.com services do
  use the user agent string to determine compatibility (more than just
  including a <video> tag).
  
  This is something that would change behind the scenes so it is not a UI
  change or branding issue: Simply change the default value for
  general.useragent.extra.firefox to "Firefox/3.5" instead of
  "Shiretoko/3.5".
+ 
+ WORKAROUND (Will not be overwritten with upgrades):
+ 1. Install User Agent Switcher Addon
+ 2. Create a New User Agent
+ 3. Just Change Shiretoko at the end of the String to Firefox
