If I look at <http://browserspy.dk/browser.php>, I see this user-agent :
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:5.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/5.0

The gecko version (which i what you're talking about, not the user agent) is 5.0 and comes from the "rv:5.0" part in the useraganet or the browser.version vriable.

I don't see how you get the 1.9.2.15 part. Are you sure you're not overriding the user-agent in about:config ???

I didn't make changes in about:config 100% and big thank you for this message, I definitely forgot about "about:config". I think there was problem with webmoney(webmoney.ru) plugin - it replaced standard user-agent string! It is not good for my web-application and site's users :(

Big thanks for answer! Reported this bug to plugin creator. Sorry to trouble you.
