How do I set firefox broswer emmulation (for IE)
 

Hey guys I wanted to enter in a site but it said the site would be better using IE ... and then didn´t let me enter!!!

I can´t seem to find where I can change what browser Firefox identifies its self as... I know that other browsers have this feature so I assume its there!!


Thanks for you time

Try installing:
http://extensionroom.mozdev.org/more...ragentswitcher

Then you'll get a menu under "Tools" to let you change the user agent that the browser sends.

That did the trick! Thanks alot for your help!!

Perhaps while you're there, you can email the webmaster and see if they'll get off their lazy Frontpage-writing butt and write a site that everyone can read. Perhaps I sound a bit hostile, but I don't see any IE specific tricks out there that are worth alienating anyone who can't have access to IE.

Hey vectordrake I second that!!! Its crap and they seem to me to often be Web Pages of Airlines (Spanish ones at least)

www.iberia.es
http://www.muchoviaje.es

Oh well, I guess we live in a world where ventanas rulz... well at least appears to.

****Edit at least ibreia won´t be tricked by this mozilla plug in either :(****

Well I have no plugin and was able to see the iberia page but not the second link.

So since we are at it...

Is there a nice template to send to such dummy webmaster complaining about that crap ?

because if I have to write my own letter is going to be full of cursing and swearing !!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:

I noticed that. I went there with Opera 7.5 beta1 and they did the same thing to me, but I was able to get to iberia in with the link at the bottom. I havn't changed the useragent from their wussy sell-out default of msie6 yet, but it still stopped me. I think that you have to use a useragent that also tells them that you are using Windows. That horseshit is antique. Perhaps a formatting difference between NS4.7 and the rest, but not too many people use ns4.7 any more, as it crashes on most modern pages.

The other one is just badly framed - which are easier to use than tables (and don't require thinking and planning like CSS), but these people just eliminated anyone who can't see and is relying on a text-only page for their voice reader. Still discriminating against "those gimps". Makes me mad! I know very little about web design, but my little personal site is readable with lynx (the pictures show a bit of degradation <---that was a joke, people!). I changed a page I had made a while ago with frames for that reason alone. I did it with a wysiwyg editor (composer, selida, and/or nvu) and edited the pages by hand a bit too, but I really don't know what I'm doing yet. I think they still look nice.

Geez, I'm still ranting...

template

You did ask.....:p

Ok I turned off the user agent switcher (guess I screwed up some setting in there) and got into Iberia, and konquorer seems to let me get into the muchoviaje page!

Its funny that konquorer will open muchoviaje but not iberia!!!!! I could go crazy with this... but at least I can get into them! :)

Thanks for your rants guys... it makes me feel better.

I think konq is just set to be too paranoid.:D I got in, but I have javascript enabled (and java, flash, etc). BTW, mozplugger works with konqueror (so you can watch movie trailers with mplayer and stuff like that)

Thanks for the tip vectordrake ... but I have a 56.6k modem connection so don´t really watch many movie trailers :cry:

I have to do some playing with plugins and stuff...

Ahhhh dialup. The days of downloading FreeBSD in 3 nights........

Dialup is responsible for my introduction to Debian. Its the best network install I have tried (better than the *BSDs that took forever). I think that it took about 22 hours to downilad and compile Qt, if I remember correctly....
