I was wondering how badly out of context the above quote must be considering the UA isn't checked in the function. Above poster is trying to construe it as a pure and simple permanent delay for Firefox.

That being said, the solution is still bullshit.

That is just the timeout function, not the call stack. It is likely called in a function that uses a UA check.

The UA check can happen before the function is called though.
