I ran across this on the Fedora Dev List -
- Much to my dismay, many web authors will look for only IE or
Firefox. There are websites that actually STOP WORKING if the browser is not Firefox (or IE). Firefox CVS HEAD builds recently stopped reporting "Firefox" in the useragent string for example which made many sites[1] break.

That Mozilla Bugzilla link shows the sites "broken" by the UA change
noted above.
Thought y'all should be aware that FF3 might have this UA string change.

You are right, you are right and thanks for the info.
UA Sniffing is not very smart and testing for functions should used instead. But as Roundcube is using jQuery it will (should) work on any platform that jQuery is running on....
