[Bug 162163] fnac.com website thinks Firefox on Gutsy is a wap browser

[Bruno Bord]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

Hi,

I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.8 on Gutsy.

more precisely : Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr; rv:1.8.1.8)
Gecko/20071022 Ubuntu/7.10 (gutsy) Firefox/2.0.0.8

If I want to browse the fnac.com website, it looks like the website
thinks it's a WAP browser, and offers to download the WML file.

One way to fix this:
* go to about:config
* Change the general.useragent.vendorComment value to "anything else than 'gutsy'"

The fnac.com website works again.
Of course, using "Feisty" as a vendorComment doesn't trigger the bug. Nor "cinderella" or "gabba gabba hey"

It's probably a bug on the server-side point of view, but I think it
needed to be registered, because I hope Fnac.com webmasters will fix it.
