Re: Browser identification - trouble after installation of MultiZilla

Hi, Marco.

You can always spoof your UA string for those sites which do not 
properly interpret what you're running. Press Ctrl-Shft-U and select a 
compatible user agent string from the list. Realize, however, that 
Mozilla/5.0 is the base UA string, and it implies Netscape 5 and above. 
It is the website which is incorrect insofar as its version check is 
concerned (and there are lots of sites which do not properly interpret 
UA strings).

Enjoy!
