User-Agent: telnet/80 Build Identifier: Mozilla nightly 2002111408 Sidebar "checks" if it's called from mozilla, and yells if it thinks it's not mozilla saying "sidebar.cgi currently only supports Mozilla based web browsers". Unfortunaltely the check makes definitely no sense - it's based on browser string, which I intentionally have changed and even I run Mozilla sidebar.cgi thinks it knows better I am not. So, using Matrix wording: "what is this check for if you are unable to detect"? Other sidebars can live without such spare checks. Can this one join them? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Change Mozilla's browser string (ie. to "I am browser, blah ;)" 2.Add sidebar 3.enjoy "sidebar.cgi currently only supports Mozilla based web browsers" Actual Results: false statament "sidebar.cgi currently only supports Mozilla based web browsers" appears Expected Results: not check at all.

This was to allow for "future expansion" to have sidebar.cgi ouput HTML to IE 6. I don't know of any other way to tell if a browser can support XUL (since bug 88067 was turned down). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 178628 ***
