Bug Description

Binary package hint: mozilla-firefox

The user-agent of Firefox is overly specific, it includes the pocket name when it only needs to include the release name. Ubuntu/dapper is fine, event for a version uploaded to dapper-updates. This is especially true since the same version is likely to be published under the release pocket in any event in the case of a distro point release.

I have fixed this in edgy's firefox in 1.99+2.0b2+dfsg-1ubuntu3 but of course this will not do much for dapper.

The new version's user agent is correct but the stripping of the pocket name will not become evident until an actual release into -security or -updates.
