Activate Facebook Chat on Seamonkey 1.1.xx (std in puppy)
Type in the address box "about:config" (w/o the quotes) and press enter
On the page right-click and choose New -> String.
Named it "general.useragent.extra.xfake" (w/o the quotes)
and give it a value of "not Firefox/2.0.0.18" (w/o the quotes)
Note: I think Java has to be enabled

Trio, a great piece of investigation! This is one of the major problems I find with your average computer users who want it to "just work". Are you aware of any issues changing this string causes with other applications/websites? I will assign a "tester" to try this out.

Probably not. There are an assortment of extensions intended to alter the user agent string a Mozilla browser returns to a website query. One common change is to tell the site it's IE, to fool brain dead sites that think they will only work in IE.ecomoney wrote:Trio, are you aware of any issues changing this string causes with other applications/websites?

I will be quite startled if this is true. I'm on Facebook, and have occasionally used Facebook chat. While Java is installed on my system and enabled in my browsers, Facebook never called it.trio wrote:Note: I think Java has to be enabled
JavaScript does have to be enabled for Facebook to work at all.

there seems to be a bug (or feature) whereby flash does not work properly without java installed too so I guess there's a missing link or library involved.Note: I think Java has to be enabled

I haven't seen that, but then, I routinely install Java, so I wouldn't. It's really weird if that's the case.

Java is needed on facebook, as far as I can tell, only for the advanced photo uploader (the alternative simple uploader works without java).
Facebook always seems to need a later version of the flashplayer installed to play videos, they tend to have later requirements than any other site.
You mean like hotmail? Theres an issue where the send button is greyed out if this site discoveres from the user agent string you are not using Windows. This is only the case for *some* hotmail accounts. Hotmail is only a free email site if using (and of course paying for) windows...to fool brain dead sites that think they will only work in IE

well adobe and microsoft do share the same bed. Did you know adobe reader cannot be installed and run in windows unless internet explorer is present for the license agreement. So both of them are trying to perpetuate the use of a known major security flaw....I guess its good business to have systems break on a regular basis.Facebook always seems to need a later version of the flashplayer installed to play videos, they tend to have later requirements than any other site.
Good new is there now the fileset for making XP install without IE (and other crud) as has been for 2000 ...deep joy.
Facebook is a fad and will pass in time just like the others....I try to focus on worthwhile uses of the internet.
