Is everything at mozilla going pear-shaped?

@ Dustbin,
SeaMonkey and Firefox are two separate products, and according to your
headers, you are using SeaMonkey. Neither are designed to bypass
firewalls. If your firewall is doing its job, that should not even be
possible. In the program list, look for "SeaMonkey" not Firefox.
I guess I will have to start doing that, since this is the worst example
yet of a user not knowing what the hell they are using. So yes, things
have got worse :)
I'm still trying to find Firefox 7.01 so I can test it.
Blink.

Gotcha! You are one of the users that don't know your versions.
Actually I do.
I have Firefox 7.0.1 installed. I'm looking for the one that people call
7.01, when they ask for support.
Is there somewhere in this thread that referred to 7.01 other than
yourself? I figured that you'd entered the 'typo zone' and simply
pointed you to the downloads for FF 7.0.1.
What was posted on this thread was a question about FireFox (incorrect
spelling btw) in the SeaMonkey support newsgroup. It was pointed out
that this was a SeaMonkey support newsgroup and the question should be
directed to the mozilla.support.firefox group.
Then we were informed that if we had looked at the user agent, we would
have noticed the user was using SeaMonkey, and directing them to the
Firefox support group was the wrong thing to do, so I guess we are
supposed to offer support here. Also don't forget to look at the user
agent before posting any replies from this point forward.
Personally, I don't think the OP is that stupid to not know whether they
are asking a question about Firefox or not.
As often as it is done, I also don't believe that identifying a version
x,yz instead of x.y.z is a result of a typo, laziness maybe.
Whatever program and version dustbin is using I hope the problem is
resolved.
