Ubuntu version not show on firefox's user-agent string for 8.04

[Julian Alarcon]

Binary package hint: mozilla-firefox

When you go to about dialog in Mozilla Firefox 3 in Hardy Heron, there is not show the current Ubuntu version in the bulid info, like before it does.

Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon7.10:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071204 Ubuntu/7.10 (gutsy) Firefox/2.0.0.11

Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; es-AR; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008061015 Firefox/3.0

You can verify this going to About Mozilla Firefox in the Help menu, or writing "about:" in the Location Bar.

I thought we removed it because it was causing problems being in
there. There was a bug on that issue beginning of Hardy devel cycle or
late Gutsy devel cycle. Alexander do you remember this or did we never
change it?

Apparently openSUSE, Fedora, Mint, and also Ubuntu in pre-8.04 releases have no issues mentioning the distribution name in the User Agent string?

Thank you for your bugreport. Since this seems to be an issue with
version 3 of the firefox browser, I'm reassigning the package. If you
feel this is an error, please don't hesitate to add a comment to your
report.
