Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061205
Firefox/2.0.0.1 (Debian Iceweasel/2:2.0.0.1+dfsg-2)

It is a self-compiled version of the Debian package with two
changes--the product name is "Web Browser" instead of Iceweasel (I got
tired of seeing that almost everywhere) and the user agent is tweaked so
that it is detected as Firefox.
