It used to be in SM 1.1.18 that I could spoof IE or Firefox (or even
permanently change the User-Agent in the config file). But now the
Tools menu doesn't even have a temporary spoofing option. Any work
around for this with SM 2.0? Could somebody walk me through the
procedure of modifying the configuration file if that's the best fix?
I did report this problem to the SM project.
Here's the message I get which freezes my browser & doesn't even allow
the "Back" button to operate:
The browser you are using is not currently supported by Wachovia
Online BillPay. For best results and to ensure accuracy, we recommend
you use one of the following supported browsers:
* Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 (download for Windows Vista and XP)
* Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 (download for Windows XP)
* Firefox 3 (download for Windows Vista and XP)
* Apple Safari 4 (download for Mac OS X 10.5.x)
I've been using Wachovia BillPay for years, first with the Mozilla suite
and then with SeaMonkey, and I've never seen that message. And I don't
spoof my UA.
Currently on SM 1.1.16, but if that was fine for you and you lost access
after you upgraded, I'll hold off.
I was able to utilize Wachovia BillPay in SM 2.0 using the spoofing
techniques mentioned previously. So I wouldn't forgo the really
nice advantages of SM 2.0 just for this.
Here's what to do (using Win-XP): in the browser navigator window
type about:config and click through the warning. Right click on the
body to get menu, click on New|String. Type in
"general.useragent.extra.spoof" (no quote marks, of course) in the
first box. Then "NOT Firefox/3.5.4" in the second box. That's it.
I had no trouble going to BillPay after that. By the way, I also
had to do something similar in the about:config file with SM 1.1.18.
You're lucky you've never had this problem.
