According to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=378216 someone 
tested with the following user-agent:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a8)
Gecko/2007091216 GranParadiso/3.0a8

So it looks like FF3 alpha-8 might be the first version its available from 
(probably a nightly build).

AFAIK, this feature isn't planned to be backported to FF2.
