Actually, I now see that Firefox since version 4.0 does not allow the
reporting of vendor or distribution specific information in the
userAgent string. This is discussed in
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=591573

So I am not sure how only based on the useragent string, one would be
able to distinguish between ubuntu or openSUSE for example, or even
detect if the Linux distribution being used is one of the two. The
userAgent string in both cases (Ubuntu and openSUSE) would only report
"Linux x86_64" (or i686).

Similarly, detection of openSUSE does not work on Google Chrom as well,
and I can see only the "Get sources" link. Debuginfo from Google Chrome
follows:-

navigator.appVersion = 5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/535.7 (KHTML,
like Gecko) Chrome/16.0.912.63 Safari/535.7
navigator.userAgent = Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/535.7
(KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/16.0.912.63 Safari/535.7
navigator.appCodeName = Mozilla
navigator.appName = Netscape
navigator.platform = Linux i686

Hope this information is useful.
Bye
