Chris, I think it would be easier for everyone using the string
(including those who collect OS statistics, like Wikimedia) if it was in
the user-agent string itself.

Yes, we could probably add it back for that. Are you ok with the version
being in an extra http header like before?

@chris: I've just checked for the change you landed with r255, and see

Is there a way we can have this included for apps.ubuntu.com and

I'm really not clear on how the apturldirector project works but I'm

apt.ubuntu.com does not deny access to non-Ubuntu clients, and nobody
has suggested that it should. That's not the issue. The issue is that it
has to be able to display OS-dependent information: an installation
button for the relevant package if you're running Ubuntu, or if you're
running
Well, it's still possible to differentiate an Ubuntu machine from Mac OS
X and Windows, it just isn't possible to differentiate it from another
Linux machine.
In any case, this isn't going to be changed in Firefox

We can't reasonably assume that every Linux user is using Ubuntu.
Market-share-wise, that would be roughly equivalent to assuming that
every browser user is using Internet Explorer. :-)
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=572650 describes a worthy
goal, but nothing about that requires

I think being able to have apt.u.c working for people who use other
browsers is a lesser evil.
Sure we lose the chance to tell people about ubuntu and how to get it,
but if they're on another OS it won't do them any harm, and in return we
get to finally help people fix the I can't install
As discussed above, this won't be fixed in Firefox.
I agree that apt.ubuntu.com should just drop the UA filter. There is
little reason to deny access to non-Ubuntu hosts, after all? Non-Ubuntu
OSes won't have apturl and other .deb handlers installed, so it won't do
them any harm?
** Changed in:
What is the rationale behind denying UA's without Ubuntu in them access
to apt.ubuntu.com? I ask because it would honestly make more sense to
get rid of the UA sniffing, Mozilla's change in FF4 is something that I
agree with, the less information in a UA string the better, we shouldn't

There's a similar issue going on with Google Chrome at the moment. As

I've spoken to somebody from Mozilla, and this won't be fixed by adding

The general.useragent.vendor* preferences weren't really supported, and
have been dropped entirely as part of the UA string refactoring (see
