Well yes... then why even mention it at all? And why offer up the all-to-often 'Manpower' nonsense? You are the one that brought up the 2007 blog. Shall we all sit around the campfire and sing kubaya songs because you and Robert never got around to implementing any of those thoughts? You stated "unfortunately have not paned out as possible solution(s) due to the way internal Gecko Works". Perhaps you'd care to explain exactly as to how Gecko is the issue here - particularly given that Gecko has undergone considerable revisions since the 2007 kairo blogs. My guess is that 'Gecko' has nothing to do with adding a widget/option to allow users to select a website (or overall) UA string. Prebar has been doing it for many years now. Other addons have also added this for quite some time. So, would you care to explain (again) just how all this has to do with Gecko? Or would you prefer to fallback/back-peddle to the 'Manpower' explaination instead? Note: I've no issue with 'manpower/womanpower' being an excuse; but *please* don't give us both Gecko and Manpower and "Anything is possible with time in software, its just a matter of devoting the time to that over other things. And at least myself and KaiRo have been quite busy in other things that are more important uses of our time." all in the same response. Enough of that already. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
