I think I saw that too just after you reported the issue, but it seems
that flickr has been fixing it on their end, because I can’t reproduce
any longer (I wiped the cookie DB just to ensure that no previous state
was being used).
I’m marking the bug invalid, feel free to re-open if you can reproduce
now or in the future.
In general for this kind of issue, the best approach is to convince
websites to "support" our browser OOTB. Failing that, and for really
important use cases, we have a UA override mechanism which we can use to
send a different UA string for a given domain.

Title:
Flickr warns about an unsupported browser
Status in the base for Ubuntu mobile products:
Invalid
Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
I don't know exactly where to file this. But here goes:
- Go to the Nearby scope
- Click on a Flickr image
- Click "View on Flickr"
- The browser opens on Flickr with a page that says: "Grass could be greener
on this side" and "You seem to be using an unsupported browser. To get the
most out of Flickr please upgrade to the latest version of Chrome, Safari,
Firefox, or Internet Explorer."
There's a tiny white button that says "No thanks, take me to the site
anyway"
But users shouldn't see this page if possible. I realize this is best
solved on the Flickr side. Is there anything we can do in the
meantime? Or someone that can talk to Flickr?
