Testing Firefox 3.6.25 on Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.9. Which is the latest Firefox run on this platform, and Mozilla dares to call 3.6.25 “out of date” while continuing to support the much much older Windows 2000.

Hmmm, funny how the browser on this device reports itself as Safari on Mac OS X, though it's running Android.
I'd assume, even though this browser uses the same rendering engine as Safari and Chromium, there's a way
to reset the UA string to report it's true identity, rather that pretending it's on a Mac, when it physically isn't.

I guess the only reason the default set UA reports itself as Mac is so the desktop versions of websites can
be displayed by default, since other tablets go directly to the websites specifically recreated for mobiles.
