Comment (by sukhbir):

 Short answer is that this is on purpose. We do not want to identify as Tor
 Messenger. We identify as `Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:25.0)
 Gecko/20100101 Instantbird/1.5` on all platforms. If you however see "Tor
 Messenger' being leaked to a server or any way to fingerprint that, then
 that is a bug.
