An interesting hack.
There's one "flaw": the core mechanism is javascript based, using
tobutton-dev will stop it from working :)
Some of the js code can be moved to server-side (e.g. the user-agent
query) but, again, torbutton-dev adds some nice extra protection.

So, after reading the article, is firefox useless? Maybe plain firefox,
but not firefox+torbutton-dev.
