Looking at http://stats.wikimedia.org/archive/squid_reports/2014-01/SquidReportClients.htm there has been recent growth in the percentages for the Mozilla User Agent

Browsers, non mobile
All requests Html pages
Chrome 62,239 M 27.32% 5,025 M 24.13%
Firefox 26,283 M 11.53% 2,487 M 11.94%
MSIE 22,291 M 9.78% 2,371 M 11.39%
Mozilla 16,427 M 7.21% 1,593 M 7.65%

as this is a catchall for unknown browsers I suspect there is some more specific useragent string is not being recognising. This figure has been growing recently in Aug 2012 it was 0.46%, Aug 2013 it was 3.99%.

My guess is it the more recent IE which seem to be using
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Trident/7.0; rv:11.0) like Gecko
rather than using something sane like MSIE 11.0 which is does not appear in the stats.

Version: unspecified
Severity: normal

This has now dropped to 3.71% and MSIE 11 is being recognised with 6.21%. http://stats.wikimedia.org/archive/squid_reports/2015-03/SquidReportClients.htm
You can see the change happened between 2014-08 and 2014-09 when MSIE started being picked up.

This partially resolves the bug. But there is still 3.71% which is probably some other browser.

In http://datahub.io/hu/dataset/wikimedia-user-agents Mozilla doesn't appear; maybe instead we should work on switching this system over to the new data? (I thought there was a ticket for that, but I can't find it, sorry.)

I think it might correspond to the
Other,Other,Other,Other,249762000,3.3465706902
line in the Desktop Editor file. Mozilla might be a catch all for anything which has

Mozilla/??? (compatible; ???)

as a use agent string, but does not match anything more significant.

Closing this ticket as Wikistats version 1 is dead per https://stats.wikimedia.org/Wikistats_1_announcements.htm . In case this ticket is still a valid bug report or feature request for Wikistats 2, then please reopen. Thanks a lot!
