That's not what I'm seeing with IceCat 102.3.0-guix0-preview1 as built
by GNU Guix.  Using a freshly created profile, I visited a website
served by my own web server, and then looked at its logs, which revealed
that my Guix-built IceCat 102 sent the following user agent string:

  "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:102.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/102.0"

Can you tell me more about how you built or acquired the IceCat 102 that
produced the user agent string ending with "IceCat/102.0"?

      Thanks,
        Mark
