Hi,

I had a Mozilla 1.7.5 installation (/usr/local/mozilla) and afterwards installed
FireFox 1.0.4 in a different directory. Later I upgraded to Mozilla 1.7.8 German
edition. The header value given by Mozilla look like this: 

user-agent:Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511
Firefox/1.0.4 SUSE/1.0.4-1.1
accept:text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5
accept-language:en-us,en;q=0.5
accept-encoding:gzip,deflate
accept-charset:UTF-8,*
keep-alive:300
via:1.1 sonne.local:3128 (squid/2.5.STABLE6)
x-forwarded-for:192.168.0.16
cache-control:max-age=259200
connection:keep-alive

I cannot open certain sites relying on cokkies, like yahoo.de for example, and
switching the Yahoo ID, as the session values are not being updated.

Is it a bug?

Thanx,
Andreas

Did you install Mozilla 1.7.8 with the SuSE RPM then? Does this also occour with
a tarball/installer from mozilla.org?
