Binary package hint: firefox-3.5

I think we can all agree that sites which test for user agent strings are pretty lame but can we also agree that changing an about:config value in Fi^H^HShiretoko to have it report as Firefox (since that's what it really is) would be a huge benefit to users of this package?

Major sites like facebook.com and (probably most) live.com services do use the user agent string to determine compatibility (more than just including a <video> tag).

This is something that would change behind the scenes so it is not a UI change or branding issue: Simply change the default value for general.useragent.extra.firefox to "Firefox/3.5" instead of "Shiretoko/3.5".
