If it is decided to rename Firefox to abrowser, or Iceweasel, or whatever, to get around the EULA issue, then could we keep sending the Firefox UA string to servers so that sites which sniff UA strings to disallow "unsupported" browsers keep working? Popular online banking sites often seem to do this, unfortunately. If the UA string is considered part of Mozilla's branding, could we ask them to make an exception on this one small, but important point? It could benefit Debian's Iceweasel users too.
