I have found mozilla.org to be slow to apply bug fixes in the past, 
particularly when they only affect Unix-like platforms (something to do 
with extensions and installation sticks in my memory - I can try to find 
precise details if it really matters).  The bug fixes were available 
from mozilla's BTS and also other distribution packages.

It's a mess, with everyone impersonating everyone else - lots of bits of 
bun splatted around the room and on the participants.  Anything which 
relies on that string for functionality is going to break easily anyway.

Hope that explains,
