I am posting this with a UA of "This is not a real Gecko either".

I see those kinds of user agents every week. This week brought the one below. ;)
Mozilla (compatible; Undisclosed browser but not MSIE; certainly not Windows 6.0 nor other version)

Firesomething. This extension will give Firefox an identity crisis by generating a new randomized browser name every time you open a new window.

Thanks, looks like I've got some research to do.

I have never seen NetFront (a moble browser) claiming to be Gecko, likewise Hiptop (aka Sidekick)

Mozilla/5.0 (Symbian OS; U; Symbian OS-Series60; en; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20020823 NetFront/3.2

Mozilla/5.0 (Danger hiptop 4.7; U; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050920
