Hi, My employer has a web site & as a part of the service to the employees, the employees can access personal details through the web site. I can access my employers web site not a problem, BUT - when i try to access the employees part of the web site it tells me "This browser is not supported.

You must be running Netscape 7.1 or greater."

Can someone please help?

It is possible that the server gets confused by the user agent that is modified by your Ubuntu distribution and adds Ubuntu/10.10 (maverick) 

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-AU; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101206 Ubuntu/10.10 (maverick) Firefox/3.6.13


You can try to reset the pref general.useragent.extra.* that add that part.
