This is interesting. I've changed the UserAgent to say Firefox instead
of Iceweasel and that triangle is present (which I had never noticed, to
say the truth, but is very nice), and other sites which did not
recognize Iceweasel now work.

Which leads to the question: Shouldn't Iceweasel at least advertise
itself as Firefox? Because after all it _is_ Firefox, only with a
different name.




Pretty sure that Mozilla.com won't allow that. Primarily because Firefox
is their trademark.


I'm no lawyer, but I doubt this is trademark infringement. It's like
saying "This browser is similar to Firefox" or "based on Firefox", at
least that's how I understand it.
