when it should be




I could use an about:config override, but its troubling that I should have to :(


any ideas?

I used your script to get the useragent:

I agree that's strange. However, Firefox when it's packaged for windows install will have no idea which windows it will be running on. But that's strange.

Basically you have to change the browser default ID, but I'd post this question in the www.mozillazine.org forums to see why they picked such a uselessly strange default string.

well, the question is, what does the computer information box on that page print out?

The windows 98 thing is weird to be sure, and I don't think it's right. I'd double check it.

sorry, I don't use windows any more, I'm not up on the intricacies of it unless it's stuff I have to deal with for client support.
