I cannot view <https://slashdot.org/?desktop=1>. For over a minute, the

Last night, I had no problem with that Web site. Today, I cannot get
it. Trying SeaMonkey in safe mode did not help. Enabling "Advertise
Firefox compatibility" did not help.
Although I can get the page while using Internet Explorer 11, spoofing
Internet Explorer 11 in SeaMonkey does not work. Spoofing Chrome or
Opera do not work.
Is anyone else having this problem? Has anyone found a solution?
Somehow, I had preference variable of the form
"general.useragent.override" set for slashdot.org indicating an old
version of Opera. When I reset it, the problem disappeared.
I am not sure how this happened. Normally, when I set a preference
variable to a non-default value, my first choice is to use [Edit >
Prefences]. Since that cannot be used to set variables of the form
"general.useragent.override", my next choice is to use the file user.js,
in which I also insert a comment explaining why I am doing it. My
user.js had no such setting! So I am not sure how this got set.
In any case, I no longer have the problem.
I have no problem with ver. 2.53 and imap
