Re: Identify mozilla as IE?
Parish wrote: user_pref(general.useragent.vendor, Netscape6); user_pref(general.useragent.vendorSub, 6.5); That just adds a string to the end of the user-agent, no? That's what is needed isn't it? I was informed of those prefs when I needed to get the MS KB search page to recognize Moz as Netscape 6 (see the recent thread Mozilla displaying the MS KB search page in n.p.m.browser). That was different. Netscape 6 uses exactly the same user-agent as Mozilla, only with an added Netscape6/6.5. So replacing Netscape6 with MSIE5.5 or whatever is all that is needed, isn't it? MSIE, however, uses a different user-agent, something like: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows) -- They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. -- Benjamin Franklin
Identify mozilla as IE?
Sorry if this is a FAQ -- I did a google search but didn't turn anything up. Is there a way (prefs.js?) to get mozilla to identify itself as IE? Thanks.

You'll learn a lot about how Opera includes this as a feature. This is a lovely example of needing to know enough to phrase your request properly, which I obviously didn't.
