Ok, this "bug" or "feature" has frustrated me too much now to ignore.  I
know of the whole 'useragent' setting change to make the browser firefox
compatible on certain websites, but the frustrating thing is that
everytime there is a small update in Synaptic, it grabs the firefox-
branding package and resets the useragent.

If we all want free OSes and non-ie browsers to florish/compete, these
hickups should not happen.  New users to systems like this will be
turned off for no good reason.

Does nobody else use http://www.Hotmail.com ?  Hotmail might look like
it's working, but once you try and send an email, it sends a blank email
with a blank subject line.  Warning messages also pop up on
http://www.pcfinancial.ca/ and a few more that I don't recall.  Most
Microsoft sites check the browser.

At the very least, stop over writing my 'useragent' settings.  Now that
is REALLY annoying.
