We need a public testcase...

I found the problem is with some Javascript on the router admin page. It expects the navigator.appVersion to have a ";" . I see most browers do have it, like in 
Firefox 2: 5.0 (Windows;en-US)
Chrome: 5.0 (X11; Linux i686) AppleWebKit/535.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/13.0.782.112 Safari/535.1
Konqueror:  5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/4.4; Linux)

But in Firefox 6 it just says: 5.0 (X11)

I wonder if there is any standard or best practice that would require a ; to be present. And was this changed on purpose, possibly breaking many scripts?. And is there any way to change it?

The UA change was on purpose.
You can change the UA with "general.useragent.override" in about:config or you can use https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/user-agent-switcher/

Alonso, did this solve your problem? Is it safe to close this issue or do you feel you have anything to add?
