Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 205631

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English Other, enhancement)

Description

[Joe Rasmussen]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040616
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040616


Identifies the browser correctly based on some javascript - however they refuse
to accept Mozilla as a valid browser implying crazy logic.

Crazy logic = IE is safe and Mozilla is not

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.hsbc.com.au
2. Click on Internet Banking
3. Make a sad face

Actual Results:  
I had a temper tantrum

Expected Results:  
Logged in as per IE login



I'd imagine many people experience this same bug on various banking and
financial sites around the world.

It's not so much a bug but a needed feature enhancement to fool sites into
thinking the browser is IE like Opera can do (poorly)

seems to be a bug 205631 dupe

Looks like a duplicate, but it also works for me. 
I just went to that site and I can get to the page with the login form. I don't
have an account, so I couldn't get further.
I'm using Firefox 0.8 on Win2k. I see that these two bugs are reported on Linux.

Reporter: did you see this on Windows too? You said OS - All in your report.
