Hi,
I'm very happy with Torbutton.
However I only just noticed that 'Torbutton now presents itself as Windows
FF3.0.7'
My own fault for not reading right to the end of the release notes.
I spoof the user-agent in other utilities that use Tor (wget etc) so I
synchronise to Torbutton's setting.
Could you announce any future changes more prominently please?

Comment:
The UA is not spoofed in Torbutton anymore but in Tor Browser now and
happens with every major Firefox version bump. One sees it in the
Changelog that accompanies the release and is visible on the blog.
