Comment (by gacar):

 Also I think this is a genuine FF bug since
 [http://dev.w3.org/html5/workers/#the-workernavigator-object webworker
 spec] says:
     "navigator[...] must return an instance of the WorkerNavigator
 interface, which represents the identity and state of the user agent (the
 client)"

 In Chromium, device emulation works in the same way for worker and global
 scripts (they both read the same spoofed values).
