Firefox/3.0.10 or GranParadiso/3.0.10 ? bad M$

Hi all i found a strange trouble with firefox and hotmail that make me crasy this day

The major trouble come from in the default firefox configuration config general.useragent.extra.firefox that are set to GranParadiso/3.0.10.
Some web 2.0 like (www.hotmail.com) will be broken, with the hotmail case, you send full composed message but other can't see your body messages you sending, resulting in a empty e-mail from you
Hotmail, and other secure web page check if you brower is valide and it look M$ dont like the GranParadiso setting

by access about:config, It is possible to set the default value of general.useragent.extra.firefox to Firefox/3.0.10
if you wanna change this setting go to about:config in url bar

After apply the change hotmail sending message perfecly and i'm sure that this change give a better surffing with firefox

PLZ PUT THIS IN DEFAULT PACKAGE
This a easy and quick fix

Gran Paradiso branding in the Arch binary package is due to licensing restrictions.

if you want a package with the official branding, you can either use the firebrand script which i believe is in the archlinuxfr repo, or install the firefox-branded package from the AUR.
