Bug Description

I read this blog post (http://castrojo.tumblr.com/post/3087167981) from Jorge Castro and decided to try apt.ubuntu.com.
However, I ended up with a page saying:
"You don't seem to be running Ubuntu"
Using this link: http://apt.ubuntu.com/p/banshee
I am running natty narwhal 11.04.
If any more info is required, please let me know.

This is a problem with Firefox 4.0 Beta 11 in 11.04. Both apt.ubuntu.com and apt.marcoceppi.com experience it.

apt.marcoceppi.com has a workaround but with this being the default browser for Ubuntu's next release this seems less than ideal.

The use agent is "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0b11) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0b11"

Okay this is already around as Bug #709125 - Firefox (and the Ubuntu maintainers) are currently unwilling to add Ubuntu to the user agent.

However Chris Coulson has expressed interest there in a workaround. Marco could you get in contact with him?
