178232 - very important workaround needed

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 46029

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Justin Chandler]

ok guys, we all know microsoft is **** its pants because mozilla is ****
IE in the ass with all the features and SPEED.  to combat this, they have
blacklisted any browser except IE or netscape from their servers... citing some
gay excuse that it's not compatible or nonsense like that.  chat.msn.com is one
of these such sites.  i wonder if you guys can code a feature to 'hide' the
browser type or misreport it in a way that will allow us to connect to these
sites.  seeing as how netscape works and mozilla doesn't, it's very strange...
since mozilla is based on netscape code right?  anyways keep up the good work;
i'm a mozilla fan for life!

PS opera has a feature that allows it to do this, but i'm not sure how well it
works.  perhaps i'll give it a try and get back to you guys, if you want me to?

open source supporter and wannabe coder,
justin
