Public bug reported:
The patch added by Chris Coulson in the FF 8 packages to add "Ubutnu;"
to FireFox's User Agent string has caused some sites to start offering a
download of a "application/vnd.wap.xhtml+xml" file.
This change seems to have caused an issue with 51degrees.com's .NET
Mobile Framework. Visiting a site that uses the framework now prompts to
download an "application/vnd.wap.xhtml+xml" file.
Obviously, this is likely the fault of the framework, and not Ubuntu.
But I felt it should be logged, and I could not find any launchpad bug
regarding this change.
