You have seen an example of bug #396259. See <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=396259>. Permanently spoofing Firefox is a bad idea. It removes any incentive for Web developers to correct invalid sniffing or -- better -- to realize that they shouldn't sniff at all. If you don't want to use the Prefbar extension for temporary spoofing, you might try uabar at <https://www.mozdev.org/projects/overview/uabar/> or useragentswitcher at <https://www.mozdev.org/projects/overview/useragentswitcher/>. Since I use Prefbar, I can't help you with either of these. -- David E. Ross <http://www.rossde.com/> Go to Mozdev at <http://www.mozdev.org/> for quick access to extensions for Firefox, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, and other Mozilla-related applications. You can access Mozdev much more quickly than you can Mozilla Add-Ons. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
