The mostly working seamonkey 1.1.11 in Puppy 4.1.1 does have that... the not working firefox I have doesn't... but I suspect its problem is just that it is antique.
Do you know a good gtkdialog program? Please post a link here

I am indebted to Sit Heel Speak for this solution to my Hotmail problem (of about a year ago) and I pass it on in the hope that it may prove useful

I already posted this elsewhere, but this seems a more appropriate thread:

Seamonkey_1.1.15 will not let me compose+send in the new, improved Hotmail, unless I go into about:config and change
general.useragent.extra.Seamonkey
to read
Firefox/2.0 really Seamonkey/1.1.15
Good Luck

Not your average joe setting...but it's what needs to be done unfortunately. Sites must be very tightly scripted in this regard I am guessing.

Maybe. Or maybe there is another school of thought which is identify the browser and render the page according to whatever the browser is. To be honest it's more a Mozilla fubar in my eyes, if they just named every one of their browsers according to the Mozilla version number there would be no problem. But they insist on making the User agent different on every release :P

If it was "Mozilla 1.9" for example (for Seamonkey 2, Firefox 3.x and all the other flavours) then there would be no issue. Lending more credence to this is the fact that Firefox has an plugin to change the User Agent on demand :P
