I have strange situation. The whole story is quite long, but briefly - bank site works correctly in Firefox under MS Windows and in Mozilla version of FF under openSUSE, but does not work in openSUSE version of FF. ...

...

What happens is that the account page has upper line with "clickable" icons and account data and also some "notebook" type menu with clickable lines.

When it works (MS Windows and Mozilla version of FF), the page is rendered once. Under openSUSE FF the page is initially drawn correctly, but after some delay it is re-drawn and this time it is distorted (no account data) and icons and tabs becomes not clickable (cursor shape is not changed on these items also). I can say for sure that it did not work in openSUSE FF 2.0.0.5 and does not work in 2.0.0.8 (latest).

I compared page source code in working case (under Mozilla FF) and in bad case (SUSE FF) and to my surprise found out that when the page is opened under Mozila FF, it contains reference to ieEmu.js while in SUSE FF this script is not used. I guess ieEmu is emulation of Internet Explorer. So it looks like somehow SUSE version of FF identifies itself differently and site does not handle it as FF.

I've checked that SUSE version has additional useragent fields: vendor and vendorSub. Could they cause such a behavior?

Strange as it is, bank site probably uses these strings to identify the client browser. After adding these 2 fields to Mozilla FF, it stopped working. I then removed them from SUSE FF (by editing firefox-novell.js) and got the site working correctly in SUSE browser. I hope, removing of these variables does not break anything? -- Mark Goldstein -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I don't think so. This is simply info that the browser sends to the website to identify itself when they start "talking".

There used to be a Preferences tab where you could could select what info is delivered or you could even fake another browser to fool the webserver into allowing you in. Now, I couldn't find any place in the Preferences to set it anymore. Only the about:config items you mentioned.

Not sure I ever saw these in Preferences. Maybe it was with the plugin UserAgentSwitch or similar? There is something like this in Konqueror, though. In any case I was able to add these fields in config:about to Mozilla version, but since they are "default" and not "user set" in SUSE version, I could not remove them from about:config, but found that they are set in /usr/lib/firefox/defaults/pref/firefox-novell.js, so I've just removed them from this file. -- Mark Goldstein -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
