549957 - BrowserDetect reports wrong version for Opera 10.5

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Websites :: plugins.mozilla.org, defect)

Description

[Austin King [:ozten]]

In an upcoming release we will be using browserdetect.js

This library doesn't identify Opera 10.5 on Windows XP correctly.

Actual:
Version: 9.80
Build: 2.5.22

Expected:
Version: 10.50
or 
10.5

Build: 3296
or 
Build: 2.5.22 would be acceptable (Presto value)

This is not an issue, until we need to accurately detect Opera version.

Fixes this for 10.5, but breaks version detection for older version before 10.

We'll let sleeping dogs lie, creating bug to capture known issue.
