Re: Firefox 2.0 user-agent weirdness

I know about the branding issues.
But while in 1.5.x times the Browser was called "Deer Park", at least
the user-agent was "Firefox/1.5.x".
In 2.0 both changed.
Anyway. I know I can set my custom user-agent string in about:config
-> general.*
but I was just wondering, why it was changed aswell.

Zafer.
