Is bowser working as designed?

Basically we don't see how the browser level checks such as bowser.msie and boswer.firefox can be trusted at all.

@lightbeard, hey, good catch, thanks. We will add support for all of these browsers.

And yes, bowser is working as designed. We need support browser detection process manually. In most cases bowsers' assumptions are true, but sometimes there are special cases like those in the issue.
