How about just Mozilla/5.0, since all browsers user agent strings begin
with that.

The user agent string for Vivaldi.

Yeah, I thought about this a long time ago, Walt, but as we all

How is somebody supposed to know the exact address of the feedback

a submit button.


When I went to the main contact page , 
I saw two links, "General Feedback," which pointed to 
, and "Store Feedback," which 
pointed to . There was more, 
but those were the two that seemed most interesting.


As a general rule, if you mouse over well-formed links without clicking, 
the target URL appears in the status bar. You can also right-click the 
link to choose "Open Link in New Tab," "Open Link in New Window," etc., 
and the context list also includes "Copy Link Location."


So that's "how somebody's supposed to know..."

Since I know that you're a user of PrefBar, I'm assuming that you're 
doing UA spoofing...

I just went there with Firefox (using a profile with default prefs) and 
had no problems.  I then went back in Seamonkey, and when I set my user 
agent to:



Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:51.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/51.0


I have no problems either, and that's saying something, as I make 
extensive use of NoScript and cookie blocking, enough where I have 
problems on a lot of sites.


What UA string are you showing them?  If you're not having issues with 
blocking of scripts and/or cookies, I'm inclined to believe that you're 
showing a UA that they don't like.

if Baja Fresh's customer service is not in the U.S.



Probably just carelessness of wording, and somebody writing quickly. For 
all I know, it could be somebody was dictating through a voice-to-text 
tool that misinterpreted.


When this topic has come up before, I've noted two things:

- I'm not aware of other browser families, whose derivatives have this 
kind of issue. There's a number of chromium-derived browsers, not just 
Google Chrome (e.g., Iron, Epic, SlimJet, etc.), but perhaps there's not 
as much diversity in UI as with Mozilla browsers, or the others don't 
try to differentiate themselves win the UA.


- For web site tech support people, the demand for a specific browser 
(and emphasis on brand name) is mostly that they don't have time to even 
consider anything except for the most commonly used stuff.  Yes, 
Seamonkey has all Gecko capacities of Firefox, but a tech support 
person, when working with a non-technical user, doesn't have the time or 
capacity of trying to translate UI navigation to a different tool.


Even for me, as a Seamonkey user, I'm mostly fluent on what I can to 
with Edit -> Preferences, and where to find all the settings.  However, 
if I'm working with somebody in Firefox (or Thunderbird, for that 
matter), it's a bunch more effort for me to pull up a copy, go to Tools 
-> Options, and then find the correct setting there, and there are some 
Seamonkey prefs that don't have equivalents in the FF or TB user 
settings (short of resorting to tweaking about:config settings).


If a site operator supports Firefox, then anything that's not Firefox is 
merely extra fluff, and unless you've spent time there, the only 
difference between Seamonkey, Waterfox, Cyberfox, PaleMoon, IceDragon, 
Orca, IceWeasel, or any other Mozilla derivative is irrelevant, because 
"it's not Firefox, and we support only Firefox".


For the maintainers of Baja Fresh's web site, I agree that it's 
short-sighted that they only thing that they support is Chrome, but 
that's their choice. They've made the decision that they'll make sure 
that everything works under Chrome (knowing that it's now the majority 
browser), but not willing to take the time to make sure that other 
browsers are supported.  Notice that Safari and Internet Explorer/Edge 
aren't there, either.

I agree, but no one can control that. If we can convince all Mozilla

in the user agent, then we only have to convince some 20 (??) producers.

Now we have to disguise SeaMonkey as Firefox  to get certain web sites
as Google to work properly, perhaps just using Gecko -nn- on all
Mozilla browsers incl. Firefox could solve this problem.

Would it cause any adverse effects?


Better question, why won't web designers stop using user agent strings 
in their websites?
