The Web server is sniffing for "Firefox" when it should sniff for
"Gecko" -- if sniffing is valid at all.

For an explanation of sniffing, see my
<http://www.rossde.com/internet/Webdevelopers.html#sniff>.  To defeat
sniffing, use spoofing; see my
<http://www.rossde.com/internet/intr_gloss.html#spoof>.  For an
explanation of why sniffing for "Firefox" is wrong, see
<http://wiki.mozilla.org/User:Sardisson/Gecko_is_Gecko>.

After I have breakfast, I'll submit a Tech Evangelism bug report against
the Web site.

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.
