Re: iceweasel and javascripts

[Graham Seaman <graham@theseamans.net>]

I've had similar problems with the gentoo version ('bon echo') on dumb 
sites which  recognise browsers by  name,  instead of testing for 
javascript capabilities. The fix was to install the User Agent Switcher 
plugin and tell the site you're anything but what you really are (IE7 
seems to be a reasonably successful choice). Of course this messes up 
usage stats and possibly negates the reason for becoming 'ice weasel' in 
the first place...
