Perhaps not. But we don't know about their internal browser verification and security processes. In at least one case, a bank representative has got a Bugzilla account and interacted with developers in the bug, explaining why it works the way it does. > I really wish we _did_ randomize the product name from the very > beginning, or not ship one at all.

So perhaps the right thing to do is to remove the Firefox name from the UA string? If Firefox itself did it, the web would need to pay attention.
