You should make note of what I posted in the WMP thread awhile back: Date: Tue, 20 Apr 2010 18:41:53 -0700 From: NoOp <[email protected]> User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.9) Gecko/20100317 Firefox/3.6.3 (NOT - it's really SeaMonkey! Stop browser sniffing) Lightning/1.0b1 SeaMonkey/2.0.4 MIME-Version: 1.0 Newsgroups: mozilla.support.seamonkey Subject: Re: WMP References: <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]> In-Reply-To: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Message-ID: <[email protected]> <quote> I think that instead you'd want to add: general.useragent.extra.firefox and set the string accordingly. However I ran across a site this weekend that didn't accept even that. So I ended up putting this in the string instead: Firefox/3.6.3 (NOT - it's really SeaMonkey! Stop browser sniffing) Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.9) Gecko/20100317 Firefox/3.6.3 (NOT - it's really SeaMonkey! Stop browser sniffing) Lightning/1.0b1 SeaMonkey/2.0.4 That worked. Site is here: http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/Get-Started/Install/Default.aspx </quote> Note that for some reason that site sniffed for Firefox directly _after_ the Gecko string and wouldn't accept the standard: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.9) Gecko/20100317 SeaMonkey/2.0.4 NOT Firefox/3.6.3 type string. You can test it for yourself from the link above. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
