Bug 277368: www/firefox 123.0 incorrectly speciffies Linux as OS instead of
FreeBSD in the User Agent string
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=277368



--- Description ---
It's not a severe bug, but quite annoying:
I wondered why www/p5-HTTP-BrowserDetect reports Linux instead of FreeBSD and
started to debug that until I realised that not the perl module was wrong, but
the User Agent string of firefox actually reports:

"Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:123.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/123.0"

It's not Linux of course, but FreeBSD 13.2-RELEASE (and also not x86_64 but
amd64)
I could not verify so far if it is an upstream bug or somewhere in the port
unfortunately.
