I don't have a strong opinion on it though but would like to figure out some details then. What is the useragent for SLE then? For SLE11 there is no way in the spec to figure out that it actually is SLE11. So is it 11.1? The Firefox/3.6 part given upstream and should not (or even must not) be changed. Only the "vendor" settings should be touched. Currently done like this: pref("general.useragent.vendor", "SUSE"); pref("general.useragent.vendorSub", "RPM_VERSION"); where we replace RPM_VERSION with the %{version}-%{release} string. And here for example what Fedora does: pref("general.useragent.vendor", "Fedora"); pref("general.useragent.vendorSub", "FIREFOX_RPM_VR"); which is exactly the same apparently. Ubuntu is different as you mentioned. So the question would be what is the "quasi-" standard? To me it's not clear. We can set vendor vendorSub vendorComment (we left that out at the moment but Ubuntu is setting their "codename" afaics) I can try to find out if we can get some agreement amongst (some) Linux distributions. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Mozilla decided to strip and streamline the user agent almost entirely starting with Firefox 4 mainly for footprinting/privacy reasons. Current Firefox 4 versions have a UA like this: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0b7pre) Gecko/20101012 Firefox/4.0b7pre compared with 3.6.x: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; ru; rv:1.9.2.10) Gecko/20100914 SUSE/3.6.10-30.2 Firefox/3.6.10 It has been accepted by everyone (AFAIK) not to fiddle with UA anymore to give more information.
