Hmmm, about:mozilla gives a bit of a surprise. In my Mozilla 1.4 about:config I see general.useragent.contentlocale default string US general.useragent.locale default string en-US general.useragent.misc default string rv:1.4 general.useragent.security default string U http://www.mozilla.org/projects/embedding/prefs.html lists more useragent things. The ones present in my about:config don't identify the browser so can't be used to spoof another. I tried adding an IE6.0/WinXP useragent string in about:config, ie user_pref("general.useragent.override","Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)" and Mozilla wouldn't start anymore. http://www.mozilla.org/unix/customizing.html#prefs gives info on modifying user.js in your Mozilla profile, but I haven't had any luck with that either. Would like to get this as a local school district site that a couple of days ago would only allow IE not allows Netscape 7.1. This followed a bit of discussion with the district information systems manager. I am hoping to demonstrate that Mozilla will work in their site too, but can't get in. Anyone had any success with changing their useragent string in Mozilla? -- Ian Stephen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
