Sniff Mozilla-based browsers correctly
Browsers such as Camino, K-Meleon, and Minefield are not detected as Mozilla-based browsers by Evnet's browser detection mechanism. As they share the same rendering engine as Firefox, they should function the same as Firefox on C9 (and 8 & 10), so they should not be included.

I doubt we're following the official guidelines, but we did modify the check we do at the server side to recognize non-Firefox Mozilla based browsers. I've only tested with K-Meleon, but it appears to be working fine.
