RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 112645

Details

I have had a bug report (bug #113040) annotated with a request to provide build information, but one of the prominent pieces of information on the bugzilla form is: Some fields initialized from your user-agent, Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.6) Gecko/20011120 Which seems to me to be exactly the build information. If this information is incomplete, or is not actually getting into the form, then bugzilla should not be filling in fields based upon it or producing this mesaage, otherwise the implicatin is that there is no need to enter this information.
The fields it initializes are your platform and operating system. The assumption is that you're using the same computer on which you reproduced the bug but not necessarily the same browser (since the browser the bug was observed in may not even start up). In fact, in reports that include both useragent and a build id the two agree no more than half the time. Hence the useragent field and the build id are not included in the report. We should clarify that message to say that the build id will _not_ be included by default.
