My Yahoo suddenly started saying browser not officially supported

[Daniel MacDonald]

Binary package hint: firefox

I have My Yahoo set up as my start page. I have been using it without problems since install and then I opened up FireFox one time and I am greeted with a message saying that my browser is not officially supported. It then suggests to download one of the supported browsers - which of course, firefox is in the list.

I have not made any changes or installed any upgrades or programs, altered any settings at all. It just happened.

Please type "about:config" into your location bar and hit enter,

In the browser window you will see a list of configuration settings. You can filter the shown settings by typing in the Filter: textfield.

Please filter for 'agent' and provide the configuration keys and values you see there.

Thanks,

The filtered query from 'agent' is as follows;

general.useragent.contentlocale chrome://browser-region/locale/region.properties
general.useragent.extra.firefox Firefox/2.0.0.6
general.useragent.extra.firefoxComment (Ubuntu-feisty)
general.useragent.locale en-US
general.useragent.product Gecko
general.useragent.productSub 20061201
general.useragent.security U

I hope this is of help to you. If you need any more information, please do not hesitate to get back to me.

This was caused due to thier web site not Mozilla's fault, more than likely they updated thier site and that is what caused it as problems with microsofts sites as well.
