User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624

I went to site http://launch.yahoo.com/musicvideos/ and selected a video to
play. I got a screen that stated:  ERROR


To use this application with Netscape, you must use a 4.7x version. Download now.

Please use the following error code when writing to Yahoo! Help. (Error Code: 12)

The version number is being queried and Yahoo is finding a non-matching or older
version number.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. log on to   http://launch.yahoo.com/musicvideos
2. Select any video to play 
3.

Actual Results:  
Error code 12 splash will be displayed.

Expected Results:  
Have a version number that is 4.7 or later in the scanned version area.

This also fails in Firebird 0.6.1 and I have not tried Mozilla 1.5 but suspect
it also will fail.

Sounds like a bug in the site; the actual code they use to sniff would be much
appreciated.

This is a known Yahoo issue.  They deliberately block out Gecko browsers for
technical reasons.  See the dup'ed bug.
