Public bug reported: http://www.property24.com/ currently does not open. Instead it suggests downloading "mobile.aspx".
Changing the UA string by removing "Ubuntu" from the string or relocating it allows proper access to the page. In other words, Firefox 9.0.1:: Mozilla/5.0 (Ubuntu; X11; Linux i686; rv:9.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/9.0.1 does not work. Firefox 9.0.1:: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:9.0.1) Gecko/20100101, Ubuntu, Firefox/9.0.1 works. Other Linux distros (not related to Ubuntu) do not have a problem. Nor does Chromium sourced from Ubuntu. In the case of Chromium, "Ubuntu" does not precede "X11" and is placed lower down in the string, after "(KHTML, like Gecko)". There have been reports of two other sites not opening with Ubuntu's Firefox, or mistaking Ubuntu's Firefox as a mobile platform: http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=1821427 and http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=88994 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: firefox 9.0.1+build1-0ubuntu0.11.10.2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-14.23-generic-pae 3.0.9 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-14-generic-pae i686 NonfreeKernelModules: wl AddonCompatCheckDisabled: False AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.24.
