You don't have a relevant issue so I just picked one.
Your obsolete browser message is crappy and infuriating. I'm running *Google Chrome* on a
*Chromebook*, which is about as modern as you can get, and the browser update page you
link to tells me that *I* need to update my browser. What nonsense. Meanwhile, users of
Seamonkey, which is a perfectly modern browser, based on the same rendering engine as
Firefox, get a study and annoying message that their browser isn't supported, which far
too many users read as "you stupid obsolescent geezer, why don't you get with the
21st Century?".
Great public relations there on Weather.com's part.
Seamonkey works fine with Google Apps, which is a very modern heavily scripted, fully interactive
site, so what's so &$^&*(&)%^ special about your "new" Weather.com that you
have to make an issue of the browser. Maybe *you* need to join the 21st Century and realize that the
browser wars are supposed to be over. And learn to process User Agent strings properly so you can
recognize a modern browser when you see one.

I'm just glad it's fixed. I think NetFlix is my next target.
Rather than telling them to sniff for SeaMonkey, why not have them sniff
for the "gecko" process .... that way they'll fix their website for
several browsers!!
You could do worse than send them to http://geckoisgecko.org/ .... might
be old, but the relevant information probably still applies!
