Is this an evangelism bug or exactly what is the alleged bug in Firefox?

Can this be triaged without registering for an Orkut account?

Has it been verified that the problem goes away if faking an one-digit User Agent String with a two-digit Firefox, and the other way around?

I sent mail to Google asking them to look into this.

I can confirm the bug. By faking the user agent I get the new interface.

Orkut Team fixed it.

Can we confirm that it works on Firefox 10?

I'm using Firefox 10.0.1, and it works.

This changed during the night. I tested yesterday afternoon and both Fx 10 UA and Nighlty UA weren't getting the new site (but if I faked to Chrome I got it).

This morning both Fx 10 UA and Nightly UA get the new site at both orkut.com and orkut.com.br

Cool! They fixed it.

(Like always, reopen if you disagree).

Thanks Kyle for your help!
