WFM in trunk and branch. Also in 1.0.6.

This is WFM in 1.5beta1, using the genuine UA string or spoofing as 1.0.6.  

Some sites might expect to see Mozilla (i.e. the Suite) rahter than Firefox.  In
which case it would be a TE issue.  In any cse, if sites block based on UA, that
is their business, and all that can be done is to complain to them.
