User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0 Build ID: 20100101 Actual results: OS name and version is included into User-Agent string. Expected results: Consider removing OS name and version from User-Agent string. I can't even imagine any use case when it really needs to detect OS by using User-Agent string. It can be easily detected by using "navigator.platform" property. IMO, reporting platform type (desktop or mobile) is enough for now.

Please, don't close this bug or reopen bug #736373. OS info should not be exposed to HTTP User-Agent string when ResistFingerprinting is enabled.
