Firefox user-agent with "toolbar" attribute wrong detected
Posted: Sun Jul 24, 2011 6:39 am
I found a lot of user agents in my logs who looks like Firefox, but are detected as a Novarra Proxy (id: stupid_novarra_proxy_sub73). See below for some examples..
I am using the PHP API 1.3.1.
It looks to me that the word "toolbar" causes this.
Should this be the correct behavior?
