RE: Browser identification - trouble after installation of MultiZilla

Hi HJ,

Thanks for your support!

Like Evzen Polenka said, MultiZilla isn't the correct user agent string. 
The browser is Mozilla. The Browser check script doesn't sucks to me. 
The biggest Internet Provider in Switzerland uses a similar one too. You 
can see the same problem there (see attachment). Above, with the 
MultiZilla strings, below without them. Above, they identify Mozilla as 
an older Browser and write on the top of their Homepage that it could be 
possible, that the website isn't correct showed.

The bank writes for Mozilla "that browser that has not been tested" not 
"isn't officially supported". That's for me a big difference.
For Netscape Navigator 5 (with the MultiZilla strings), they write "an 
old browser version which, for security reasons, will no longer be 
approved". That sounds fine to me.

Anyway, thanks for the support!
Marco
