habs added a comment to T247: purebrowser: Choice of user-agent string lack a policy.

I learned that Option 2 can be enabled by the user in a safe way by setting the "general.useragent.compatMode.firefox" parameter in about:config to true -- that is the purpose of that option which is only available in Firefox derivatives.

ezs777 added a comment to T196: Pure OS continually disconnects my computer from VPN.

@d3vid, my connection is stable. I have no problems when not connected to the VPN; the connection never just suddenly drops, like it does when I am using it. Also, my packages are all up-to-date, and the problem still persists into this morning.

This issue is bogus: It is correct for metadata to describe license as Artistic, but code itself is licensed "same as Perl" which means dual-licensing as _either_ Artistic or GPL-1+.
