Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Replying to [comment:3 boklm]:
 > Firefox is including its version number in the UserAgent string, so it
 is easy for a website to detect if Firefox is up to date. In Tor Browser
 however, we are only including the major version number, and not the minor
 version number, so it is more difficult for a website to know if Tor
 Browser is up to date.
 I'm talking about the case where the released Tor Browser is based on 52
 ESR whereas someone still uses 45 ESR. Of course, only a very tiny portion
 of people may happen on it but it's still better to have it.
