Yeah, they're looking for "Firefox" in the UA string. This is totally broken in Camino (with "Firefox" removed from the UA string) as well.

I would use this conversation to include a question about a feature that IceWeasel says to have:

In addition, GNU IceCat (?) includes some privacy protection features:

   1. Some sites refer to zero-size images on other hosts to keep track of cookies. When IceWeasel detects this mechanism it blocks cookies from the site hosting the zero-length image file. (It is possible to re-enable such a site by removing it from the blocked hosts list.)
   2. Other sites rewrite the host name in links redirecting the user to another site, mainly to "spy" on clicks. When this behavior is detected, IceWeasel shows a message alerting the user.

Will Firefox have those features (or already has) ?

PS: I like free software (specially Firefox) but do not support Iceweasel, as I am a windows user.

Bugzilla is not a discussion forum; you probably want the Firefox forum on Mozillazine:

http://forums.mozillazine.org/

Please confine comments on this bug to those relevant to the process of getting the Amarillas webmaster to fix it.

Fernando, did you ever complain to the webmaster of this site? If not, please do so and point him to this bug. If so, have you heard anything back from him?

I posted here because that issue might be seen as a "New Feature request", and bugzilla allow us posting those kind of bugs. As Mozilla could have some points against Iceweasel I thought it would be to use the only bug where the word Iceweasel where found. But thanks for the valuable hint.

Yes, using the "New" link to file a new bug. Filing requests for new features in old bugs that are in a totally unrelated component is not only counterproductive, but extremely likely to be ignored, since it has nothing whatsoever to do with this bug.

I used their contact form, and got back a canned response stating basically that my report would go to the respective area. I received their response yesterday (2007-12-26), so I guess it will be a while before I hear anything from them again.
