Details

The User-Agent string for Mozilla does not differentiate the Mac OS X version of Mozilla from the Classic version.
Over to build config.... This is sometimes a problem when reporters report bugs on OSX and we can't tell whether they used Fizilla or the MacOS Classic Mozilla in the OS9 compatibility layer.

UserAgent is generated inside of the http handler. Reassigning to necko.

Why should you be able to indentify them? This is a duplicate of a bug dbaron has. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 71568 ***

yep. same bug. verified.. and this functionality is needed in test builds for QA if for nothing else. Fizilla and the MacOS Classic version of Moz have totally different bugs.

Why would user agent changes be needed for QA?
so when people report their bugs and include a useragent string we know whether they are running fizilla or the classic version of moz in the emulator that comes with OS X
People don't paste the UA string into Bugzilla. They just copy the Build ID and set the OS to Mac OS X. Works fine.

Mac OS X in the OS field means Fizzilla. Bugs spotted on the Classic VM have their OS field set to Mac OS 9.1.
. UA pasted into Bugzilla: This is done automatically when people use the bugzilla "wizard" to enter new bugs. >> They just copy the Build ID and set the OS to Mac OS X. >Which tells us nothing... Actually, the full build ID include the hour it was built, which tells us (or me at least) the platform. 04 or 08 are usually "classic" and "05" is fizilla.
