can somebody confirm this? If this is true, does it really delay the startup of
the browser?

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040601

 Peter, I think the error's gone with the Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT
5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040602 Firefox/0.8.0+
I don't get it anymore, can you confirm that?
