Seems to be related to: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=581008 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=591617 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=591536 Maybe a good idea is to use the info stored in the new /etc/os-release file. See http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/os-release.html for more info Mozilla encourage distributors to not change the user agent, it should be consistent for all Linux systems. After some investigation I found that OpenSUSE/Ubuntu respect that so I'm not going to change it for Fedora either. Fine with me. Only point that actually Ubuntu is changing the UA, at least until 11.10. Chromium: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/535.7 (KHTML, like Gecko) Ubuntu/11.10 Chromium/16.0.912.77 Chrome/16.0.912.77 Safari/535.7 Firefox: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:12.0a2) Gecko/20120214 Firefox/12.0a2 And also as you can see here: http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/squids/SquidReportOperatingSystems.htm Ahh, you're right, I've just overlooked it. Anyway, let's leave it generic as it should be, we can change it any time in the future if we need so. |
