In 2012, Mozilla developers explained why they chose not to include
"Android" in their mobile UA string.
<https://wiki.mozilla.org/B2G/User_Agent> Summary: Sites that mistakenly
serve desktop-formatted pages are less likely to result in support
calls, and are easier to address with evangelism, than sites that
reasonably promote Android apps to a browser that claims to be running
on Android. And that evangelizing sites to "Send your mobile version to
any browser with 'Mobi' in its UA string" helps not just Firefox but
every other mobile browser (for example, Ubuntu's).

If bug 1466427 has not been fixed by the time this bug is resolved, it
may save time to fix them together.
