firefox browser detection in ubuntu

I just face this problem when starting to use Ubuntu. I wonder why Request.Browser.Browser.ToLower().IndexOf("firefox") return true for firefox on windows but false for firefox on Ubuntu?

If you must use browser detection...try using something like jQuery's .support functions.

Check WhatIsMyUserAgent or some similar site for what Ubuntu's Firefox builds are actually sending.

I believe Firefox is supposed to be in the FF UA string on Ubuntu...but I know for a fact Gecko is in the string, as that's the rendering engine used.

Look at the return value of Request.Browser.Browser.ToLower() to see what Ubuntu has there. Most probably it's called iceweasel instead of firefox there.
