Let me remind you that I started MultiZilla as browser project, not as an add-on/extension project. Secondly, what you are using is only a compilation of some of the features that can be found in the MultiZilla browser, but are made available as an extension for people like you.

The 'cause' is a bad browser check, and most of the sites work just fine.
Let me also remind you that I was the first one to develop an Mozilla add-on to change the HTTP User Agent, long before anyone else did, because most browser checks failed, or simply blocked Mozilla as browser. That's still going on today, but now sometimes in form of bad browser checks, like this example, because they check navigator.vendor!?! For crying out loud man, that is SOOOO wrong!
FYI: the vendor string isn't a brand(name) identifier...i.e...I don't care where you bought the coffee; Starbucks, Wall-Mart or whatever, as long as it the SAME coffee ;)
