Details

Netscape 4.6 for Linux identifies itself as: Netscape 4.6 [en] (X11; I; Linux 2.2.9-19mdk i586) Mozilla M6 for Linux identifies itself as Netscape 5.0 [en] (Unix; I) Shouldn't it identify itself as 5.0 [en] (X11; I; Linux 2.2.9-19mdk i586) I entered a similar bug for Mozilla mis-identiying itself in Windows NT earlier, but I entered this as a new bug since it's running on a different OS.

shaver, can you deal with this ?

Target Milestone: M12
I'll take it, but I'm not going to worry about it until after beta unless someone can make me believe it's a dogfood issue.
Target Milestone: M12 → M14
As an additional comment, I've heard from a few people who think that the current behaviour is better, in that it doesn't provide as much information about the running system. (They were thinking of automated attack programs keyed to known bugs in given OS versions.) That said, I'll still work to fix the bug, eventually.
How come this is still M14? M14 is already out!
I think the user-agent fixes from a few months back remedied this.
