Description
WordPress sends a generic "WordPress/$ver" string as the user agent for HTTP requests.
When the bookmarklet is used, Press This does not display the URL entry form, so if a parent site is blocking the generic UA string (pingback spam, etc), then PT will load with no content and not a way to attempt another site.
To help users and other entities monitor, filter, etc traffic from PT, a more specific UA needs to be set.
Marking as a bug as it causes PT to be unusable on certain sites (e.g. Medium.com)
