294459 - Firefox (1.0.4) - User Agent is still Firefox 1.0.3

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 294020

(Firefox :: Menus, defect)

Description

[Timo Kozlowski]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-DE; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.3 StumbleUpon/1.9994
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-DE; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.3 StumbleUpon/1.9994

In Firefox 1.0.4 the User Agent still reads

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-DE; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511
Firefox/1.0.3 <------- this is the preceding version!!!

I downloaded this german binary from http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Help > About Firefox (in German Hilfe > Über Firefox)
2. Read the user agent
3.

Actual Results:  
In the about dialog it says: Mozilla Firefox 1.0.4 -- but the user agent in the
same dialog states version 1.0.3

The wrong user agent appears also in the log files of my web server!

Expected Results:  
The user agent should be: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-DE;
rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4  

I don't know, if this is a problem of the german locale or a general problem.

This is a problem related to the StumbleUpon extension which hijacks the UA.
Please file a bug with them asking them to change this behaviour.
