While I have been using user agent switcher for a long time, the need to spoof firefox has gotten so common, I need a default fix. There appears to be no option in user agent switcher to set the default other than by using about:config so, since it reverts to default for each session, need to get educated. Thanks in advance, Beverly Howard Manually setting preference variables to spoof Firefox permanently will cause server logs to report the use of Firefox for ALL Web sites you visit. In the end, if this practice becomes widespread, it will cause Web developers to think NO ONE is using SeaMonkey. It is much better to use PrefBar or UserAgentSwitcher. These provide easy ways to spoof Firefox when necessary and then revert back to not spoofing. It's more simple to spoof everytime ... because we don't know when the spoof is needed. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Therefore, the first time you run 2.0, it will attempt to migrate your profile data. In my experience, this has been quite smooth, even with my oddball profile setup. When it is complete, your old profile will still exist in it's old location, allowing you to transfer manually if there are any problems. If you want to retain 1.1.x for awhile, just in case, either move it out of Applications before installing 2.0 or install the new version to a different location.

Re: Education on User Agent Strings
http://blog.drapostles.org/archives/49 Thanks... very interesting reading. It certainly underscores my experiences using seamonkey and makes a lot of sense since I have come across very few users who are even familiar with the name. general.useragent.extra.xfake Still looking for some additional understanding of the use of a new about:config prefs entry such as the above and how to best impliment it. As mentioned, I would have assumed that it would need to be added to the basic string that contains SeaMonkey but this suggestion seems to indicate that the above entry would be appended to the string and make it easy to find the edit later for editing or removal. ...due to Firefox’s popularity seem to frequently NOT be broken when and if we Added “Firefox/” to our UA string. Shouldn't the firefox version number be included? And which version of firefox is best for compatibility with seamonkey 1 and 2?

I thought it was pretty cute that after a couple of CTRL-plusses to increase the font size, I could still use the scroll bars to view various parts of the main page, but the popup as you call it stayed put off the edge of the screen.
