Received a message from Yahoo this morning to update my Yahoo Mail. I go
to do it. First thing doesn't accept SeaMonkey at all. So I have the UA
set to show FireFox 4. still doesn't accept What's with that?
I see your User-agent string reads like this:
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.1.19)
Gecko/20110420 SeaMonkey/2.0.14/not FireFox/5
So you are using SM 2.0.14, right? My guess is that the way you set up
the spoofing is not being recognized by Yahoo.
I'm using SM 2.1 with "advertise Firefox compatibility" on and Yahoo
accepted it. It gives the following user-agent:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0.1) Gecko/20110608
Firefox/4.0.1 SeaMonkey/2.1
Just for comparison, disabling Firefox compatibility gives this one:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0.1) Gecko/20110608 SeaMonkey/2.1
So I see two possible problems:
1. Your CamelCase naming of "FireFox" (sic). The official product name
is "Firefox". If the script Yahoo is using is case-sensitive, it will
not recognize CamelCase "FireFox".
2. Perhaps, just PERHAPS, they don't recognize Firefox 5 yet. I find
this unlikely, since Firefox 5 has already hit the streets.
I fixed it by completely removing the word SeaMonkey out of the UA. I
will simply recognize he Word Seamonkey in the US String. I hope it
doesn't affect any updates.
