Comment (by arma):
This ticket makes a good point that the useragent is actually set to
Windows in my about:config, so it sure looks like it's *trying* to set the
useragent, it's just not actually setting it correctly (or using it).
(I hear from the tor browser devs that they are no longer trying to lie
about user agent, (a) because you can't actually convincing lie, because
there are so many other components that would have to change too, and (b)
because when Android enters the scene, they won't want to get served the
non-mobile version of pages. But I think there are still some arguments in
favor of setting the useragent to Windows for the desktop version: passive
website logs only look at user-agent for one, and when the openbsd people
get their Tor Browser going they'll sure stand out. Oh and a third reason
is the flood of people who keep thinking there's a bug to report. :)
