Comment(by arma):

 Replying to [ticket:5056 cypherpunks]:
 > Easy resolution is to update the Tor Browser Bundle User Agent to the
 same one as Firefox 10. Based on the upgrade curve of new Firefox
 versions, majority of Firefox users will be running Firefox 10 very soon.

 Should Torbutton in TBB stop messing with your user agent? It does more
 harm than good right now. Or should it learn to regexp the Firefox user
 agent so we can claim we're always on Windows but using whichever version
 of Firefox it is? Right now we need a new Torbutton release for every new
 Firefox release, just to update the user-agent that it sets.

 Unless this is already configurable in Torbutton, in which case it should
 be another step in the TBB build process?
