I think the name "Web Browser" should be a better name, although the mobile gecko browser has also this name => rename that to "Mobile Web Browser".
Indeed I like it better when we have a smooth experience with the Firefox name and icon. But "Web Browser" is a better experience than have a EULA pop-up.
""Firefox/3.0". Is that illegal? If not, then there's the solution to that too."
No it is not. Firefox does not have a trademark on the user agent. If we rename it, than please don't change the user agent name.
I hope you get a good compromise with Mozilla/Firefox for this issue!
