Comment (by sukhbir):

 Fixed in [https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor-messenger-
 build.git/commit/?id=64de1fc1e555416493c8c1ef0d40050e4ea04c81 64de1fc1e].
 We are now setting the user agent string to `Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1;
 rv:25.0) Gecko/20100101 Instantbird/1.5` on all platforms, which is
 Instantbird stable on Windows. I have confirmed this with
 `navigator.userAgent`. (We are removing the user agent from the about
 screen to not confuse the users.)
