(That should say, it WFM using Mozilla-Mac/1.7RC2, not 1.7b.)

This is because the browser sniffing is just broken:

var browserType; /* cheezey browser detection */
if (window.sidebar)
{
    browserType = "MOZ";
    get = MZ_get;
}
else if (document.layers)
{
    browserType = "NS4x";
    get = NS_get;
}
else if (document.all)
{
    browserType = "IE";
    get = IE_get;
}

Still broken, but do we *really* care? :) On a more serious note, if we do care, do we know who to talk to about this?

Not broken by lack of Firefox in UA string - removing dependency.
