The page is doing Useragent sniffing and it fails because our Useragent string format changed.

an example for the old User agent string
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:10.0.8) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/10.0.8
and the new one:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:17.0) Gecko/17.0 Firefox/17.0

sorry to bother, but with v 17.0.1 again -> no spaw indication.

we fixed the "sniffing" stuff with 17.0.0. what's new now?

any idea would help!

> we fixed the "sniffing" stuff with 17.0.0. what's new now?

The UA changes in Gecko 17 (Firefox 17) were reverted in version 17.0.1 because of various incompatibilities.
See bug 588909 and it's depending bugs and bug 815743 for details.

old:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:10.0.8) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/10.0.8

new (Firefox 17.0):
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:17.0) Gecko/17.0 Firefox/17.0

but reverted to the old style now with Firefox 17.0.1:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:17.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/17.0


Please note that proper detection of the Gecko version all time was searching
for the "rv:" value.

Sorry for your inconvenience.

Hello,

I have seen that spaweditor is no more actual and the last version was working in firefox.
can you please give us an update? is this error still valid from your site?
