firefox

[Kelly Prescott]

you could just change the version string linkx or lynx etl reports to the 
correct one...
If you need some samples of version strings, I have included some below...
Note, these are just grep'd from a web servers log, so They are just for 
information...
The code that limits browsers just reads these strings, so you should be 
able to tell it you are a explorer or netscape...
