Website http://awakeningdynamics.com/ gives me error message saying I have Internet Explorer 7 and tells me it's unsupported. I am using Firefox 36.0 for opensuse 13.1. See attached image file.

hi, your useragent looks alright:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:36.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/36.0

please report this to the webmaster of the site - probably their browser sniffing code contains an error and is wrongly classifying your Firefox as IE...

Hi Philipp: Not sure how to contact them as I only have one browser (Firefox 36). Guess I'll have to install something else, although I tried some others some time ago and wound up back with Firefox (grumble).

Can you reach the site?

Yes or no would help me know if it's just me or more likely their site. Thanks....

I was able to go there with Firefox 36.0.1 and Firefox 37 beta 3 without any problems. In Windows 7 Pro.

I used the User Agent Switcher add-on and the site still came up fine for me with your user agent.

Might try starting Firefox with add-ons disabled (Help -> Restart with Add-ons Disabled).

Ha! I followed the instructions at that page and found the reset choice greyed-out on all four "useragent" entries. I simply toggled them all and then left them as they had been. The site comes in for me, now, too.

Thank you, Philipp and MarkRH
