Testing thread about nothing (I'm trying to diagnose an LQ-related Firefox issue)

But the google chrome does not show the useragent. Arrrghhh....

Testing the useragent string on my main desktop (blew away Ubuntu, tried Fedora, didn't like that, blew that away, installed Arch

).

Icon? Yay!

Just fiddling with the agent details, getting rid of version numbers etc. while hoping it still recognises the distro.

This could be tedious - thank goodness it's a test thread!

harryhaller · 09-10-2010, 11:40 AM

That worked! Now a bit more trimming..

harryhaller · 09-10-2010, 11:44 AM

That worked too

Now a few details to be removed...

harryhaller · 09-10-2010, 11:45 AM

I have to re-switch the agent after each edit - doh! Try again.

harryhaller · 09-10-2010, 11:47 AM

: ) a wee bit more

harryhaller · 09-10-2010, 11:47 AM

forgot again to switch the agent..

harryhaller · 09-10-2010, 11:51 AM

Working fine. Have now removed final details about the OS. (and remembered to switch agent)

harryhaller · 09-10-2010, 11:53 AM

Try again

harryhaller · 09-10-2010, 11:54 AM

I rushed it - trying to remove too much at one.

harryhaller · 09-10-2010, 12:01 PM

That enough for now.

I was able to reduce the details contained in the useragent to this

Code:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; ; ) Gecko Slackware/Firefox

Hey, as long as you see the slackware icon on the left, it's all that matters.
