Hmmm. The Gecko version -- rv:1.9.1.15 -- and the Gecko date -- 20101027 -- do not match Firefox 3.6.16. They should be rv:1.9.2.16 and 20101027, respectively. I can think of two possibilities: As I reported earlier, Google's server appears not only to be sniffing the UA string but also parsing it. Perhaps, the mismatch between Gecko and Firefox versions is causing problems. Or perhaps the server is sniffing for a particular version of Gecko rather than for the string "Firefox". It might want something like 1.9.2 instead of 1.9.1. Either of these two would explain why my spoofing of Firefox 3.6.16 worked while yours did not work. -- David E.
