User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0 The date in the HTTP User-Agent header sent by both Firefox/4.0 and 4.0.1 indicates 01-January-2010. As it's now 2011, an update is likely in order. The date in the recent Firefox/3.6.16 UA string is OK, as far as I can tell (from a webmaster/Firefox user's vantage point). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Examine Firefox/4.0 or /4.0.1 User-Agent headers logged by any web server, or use something like the "Live HTTP HEaders" add-on to view outgoing HTTP request headers. 2. Note date in HTTP User-Agent header indicates 2010. 3. Note that this seems to be OS-independent. Actual Results: Webserver log samples: "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0.1" Expected Results: Expected to see a date after February 2011 in Firefox/4.x User-Agent strings. Send correct build date in HTTP User-Agent header.
Build date was intentionally frozen (bug 591537).
