Samsung's Watch product pages read navigator.appVersion to check for Windows, MacOS or Linux, and fail to load properly if they do not find one. Since Firefox returns 5 (X11) on Linux, this is a problem, as they expect the string "linux" instead. We can add an intervention (which only applies on Linux) which changes the value to 5 (Linux) to fix this.

This is shipping in Firefox 108 via bug 1776677.

Reopening this one, since we're now tracking the status of webcompat issues with interventions differently.

FYI, Google the problem with including Linux in the user agent, so in theory we could make the Android change...
