It doesn't, but honestly, it doesn't matter. It's the website that is
broken because it's readin the UA string wrong, not the browser. I
make a point of sending Firesomething UA strings; if a website cares,
they should be checking for the Gecko rendering engine, not for the
browser's name.

You could try to flame #399633 for fun and profit. ;-)

Or use user-agent switcher for broken websites. It's also fun to use
that and pretend to be the Googlebot, find the sites that are lying to
Google.
