When I visit Google maps (http://maps.google.com/) using either Epiphany

with Debian. On my systems with Ubuntu, google maps works as expected.

Does anyone know why this may be happening?

It is a problem with the user agent setting. Google maps does not seem to realize that iceweasel and firefox are practically the same. You can work around this by visiting about:config in iceweasel and replacing iceweasel with firefox for the general.useragent.extra.firefox string.

Thank you. I just added "Firefox/2.0.0.14" to the end of the string in
Epiphany and it is working now.

I guess Ubuntu must have changed Epiphany to add the Firefox useragent.

Thanks again.


For what it's worth...
I made the change and now I can view CNN videos
Thanks for the info.
