Fake Firefox Trackback spam attempts

We're seeing a slew of Trackback spam attempts all using the user agent string

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040626 Firefox/0.9.1

The attempts are coming via proxies all over the place and since Bad Behavior is blocking them, I can't tell what they're trying to spam for. Since nobody would seriously use such an old Firefox version any more, it should be safe to block that user agent if you don't have any other protection against these trackbacks.
