A similar problem on linux: the os is identified as windows.

Moreover, after manually choosing the os as linux in
https://update.mozilla.org/extensions/showlist.php?application=firefox&version=1.0&numpg=50&category=Popular

and click "Update", i'm brought to
https://update.mozilla.org/extensions/showlist.php?application=firefox&numpg=50&os=linux&version=1.0&submit=Update
The page identifies my os correctly after i go to "Popular" section again, though.

This bug is not fixed. It still doesn't detect the linux OS. Why was my error
message merged with this when it is for Windows XP?
