Hello all,

I just changed my provider to Xfinity from Fios and am having an issue with accessing Xfinity's Support pages.

I get the message that I must update my browser, despite using HTTP 1.1 and the UAS in SM to Identify as Firefox.

Is there something more I can do to sidestep this besides using Chrome or Firefox?

TIA - bo1953


Two questions:

1) What's the specific URL that is giving you the demand for something other than Seamonkey:

https://internet.xfinity.com/unsupported-browser.html

2) What UA are you showing (e.g., if you go to Help -> Troubleshooting), what is shown for User Agent?

If you're advertising Firefox compatibility, Comcast may be complaining about the presence of "Seamonkey" in the UA, and where they want to see _only_ Firefox.

Switching the setting for Firefox compatibility might work. If it doesn't, you may need to go the route of spoofing, whether using a tool that supports that such as PrefBar or User Agent Switcher, or manually putting an entry in about:config for general.useragent.override, whether globally or for just Comcast.

Smith,

I apologize for the delayed response:

1) https://internet.xfinity.com/unsupported-browser.html

2) Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0

Thank you for your input and assistance,

bo1953
