when Mozilla came out with the Mozilla Suite, you would see
the full UA string. When they broke the program up, into FF
and TB, the developers only gave us the short string. There
was a huge uproar about this change, especially from the
helpers trying to help others, but they wouldn't listen.
However, when Mozilla Suite died, SeaMonkey was born, and
they continued the long method.
