strange.. they used to use some javascript to stop other browsers, but
they've stopped that (I can access it with net+ and opera, and mozilla under
windows).. haven't got linux on this machine, but I'll check it later.

This is using the nightlies..

btw, from the debian docs:

7> I see this note in your changelog about a useragent patch, what is
it?

   I received a patch that allows the user to modify the useragent string.
   Pro: you can fake sites into thinking you are running a NS$ browser
        when they have stupid JavaScript tests
   Con: You can only change it while mozilla isn't running

   add this to your .mozilla/<profile>/prefs.js
   user_pref("general.useragent.misc", "some arbitrary string");
   where "some arbitrary string" is what you want to report as your
   useragent, include the quotation marks in the prefs.js file

I dunno where to get the patch, but it sounds like fun :)
