Since 2009-01-09 myspace redirects to the mobile myspace page (http://m.myspace.com/login.wap?isredirected=true) due to UA sniffing Minefield.  When I changed general.useragent.extra.firefox to Firefox/3.0.5 I get the non-mobile version of myspace.
I'm seeing this with Shiretoko as well.  Having to use http://www.myspace.com/?useclassicmyspace=true instead of just going to http://www.myspace.com/

This WFM now.  I submitted a report through myspace with this bug and bug 334967 in the message so I'm not sure if that is what got it fixed.
Works here as well with the latest Shiretoko build.  I didn't bother sending a message to Myspace, it's usually a waste of time.
