All of you Firefox users, please come to my rescue. I
am trying to become a convert but I am being refused
connection, when using Firefox at a government site I
often visit. If I go back to Safari, the connection
goes through just fine, (so it appears to be browser
related.) I have heard that Mozilla based browsers can
identify themselves or "mimmic" IE to those sites
which require Explorer. Since this is a government
site, it might not be comfortable talking to this "non
IE" browser. Could someone advise me as to where I
might enable this feature? Or is there perhaps another solution?
Here's a Firefox extension to allow you to change the UserAgent string :
<http://chrispederick.com/work/firefox/useragentswitcher/>
This will let you tell a website that you're IE instead of Firefox,
for example.
Also, complain to the webmaster, in many cases, it's because the
useragent and version don't match, and two new versions of Firefox
just came out in fairly short order.
Complain anyway.
