Comment (by arthuredelstein):

 Replying to [comment:4 gk]:
 > Thanks for taking this off of my plate and nice analysis! :) So, I agree
 that (1) is the ideal solution but it probably won't happen in the near
 future. I am not so happy about (2) as I bet there are a bunch of sites
 out there that break due to sending such a weird UA and sending none is
 very likely breaking a lot.

 Sorry I wasn't clear -- the UA I was thinking of sending is
 `Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/31.0`
 which is the UA we were sending for TBB-4.5.3. The problem I see with
 sending the `38.0` UA is that it gives the false impression that we
 support all 38.0 features.

 I agree we could try contacting Yahoo, though I haven't found any obvious
 way to do so.
