Comment (by arlolra):

 We took a page from  Tor Browser here, which says

     All Tor Browser users MUST provide websites with an identical user
 agent and HTTP header set for a given request type. We omit the Firefox
 minor revision, and report a popular Windows platform. If the software is
 kept up to date, these headers should remain identical across the
 population even when updated.

 In #15161, sukhbir wrote,

     For the user agent which is reflected in CTCP version (among other
 places) we are using Instantbird 1.5 which is the user agent of
 Instantbird stable.
