 > Can I get a tl;dr as to what this patch does?
 When RFP is on, http header is spoofed according to a 2-tuple (windows on
 pc, and android on mobile). Entry in javascript navigator object is
 spoofed according to the 4-tuple described in the bugzilla ticket above
 (android, linux, mac, windows).
 (That's now another way to pick out tor browser from firefox)
