Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:36.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/36.0 Steps to reproduce: 1) searched for "tray" 2) selected "Works with" "Linux" search option Actual results: The first two results ("MinimizeToTray revived" and "FireTray") have platform-specific versions ... the AMO platform detection JavaScript makes these point to a download for Windows rather than Linux, even though I explicitly marked Linux in my search. I can find no way to override this behavior to download the desired Linux version, short of changing my user-agent. Expected results: The download links should point to the version applicable to the platform the user specified in their search.
