For those interested, there are 2 interesting discussions related to the
UA strings in Camino and Firefox:

- Adding Firefox to Camino:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=384721
Where we can see that dbaron is against it.

- Removing Firefox from Firefox:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=385999
Where the rationale is that Firefox should use its "power" to make the
web a better place for other Gecko-based browsers. Sad they don't want
to.
