The following greeted me when I reached the site ;-)
Mozilla Evangelism has moved to
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/tech-evangelism/
BTW how dangerous security-wise is downloading and installing all

have installed are those that came with the Debian package.
The installation link appears to be a reference to an html page
containing the actual User-Agent strings:
