Except it is very common. Back before FF included DRM (optional) I couldn't get Netflix on Linux FF. But if I switched the UA string to FF Windows or Linux Chrome I could watch it. Contacted Netflix and they said "we don't use UA strings to block people." But it isn't just Netflix. I've seen this happen many times with many different websites (no problems since DRM is enabled on FF).

I don't disagree with you, but the amount of people doing "something wrong" is staggering. And it isn't just the little guys.

Also, Mozilla is what, 3.45%? I don't think people care unless you're Chrome or Safari (combined are ~85%).
