This is what i got when i try to go on my google/gmail profile.
https://profiles.google.com/not-supported/
my browser signature is:
Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US;
rv:1.9.1.15) Gecko/20101027 NOT Firefox/3.5 SeaMonkey/2.0.10
Apparently, they now want to see "Firefox 3.6". -JW
May be, may be :-)
You can test your configuration using this link:
https://profiles.google.com/u/0/me?tab=mr
Apparently the server is not only sniffing but also parsing the UA
string. The<https://profiles.google.com/u/0/me?tab=mr> fails with
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.18)
Gecko/20110320 SeaMonkey/2.0.13, NOT Firefox/3.6.16
but works okay with
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.16)
Gecko/20110319 Firefox/3.6.16
To be sure, i put:
Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US;
rv:1.9.1.15) Gecko/20101027 Firefox/3.6.16
AND it doesnot work !!!
Is that identifier what you see when you select [Help> About
SeaMonkey]
from the menu bar?
Yes.
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.
I cannot change my gecko version with about:config ....
Anyway ... Google must accept SeaMonkey .... but grrrr...
they wrote somewhere a sentence like: "We do not discuss about other
browsers".
I use an add-on called PrefBar which allows me to spoof the User Agent.
http://prefbar.tuxfamily.org/
And I was able to defeat Google profile's browser sniff.
I hate add-on ..... the only one i have is the french-spelling.
