I remember one particular bug in Firefox (which was only fixed years later) that I
spent considerable effort trying to figure out how to work around without a UA string
check, and eventually gave up. It was something like: if you append #foo to the URL
while the page is loading in order to jump to <span id=foo>, but that element
has not yet loaded when you set the URL, every other browser would jump to the
element when it was added to the DOM, but Gecko would not.
(I ended up fixing this because I fixed a very similar bug with the MSDN
blogs, however that case was slightly different in that they linked
directly to #foo but the element was created dynamically after the
DOMContentLoaded event. My fix then caused a regression whose fix then
incidentally fixed Aryeh's bug, almost exactly 5 years after he filed it.)
