To answer your question from yesterday's board. The "UA String Widget" is an extension for Firebird. Basically it's a plugin which allows you to change the User Agent string your browser sends and thus avoid browser sniffing scripts redirecting you to pages saying this site only works in IE. (Just one of the reasons to like Firebird - rather than bloat the browser with things like this they get installed separately by choice.) Anyway once it's been installed, you get a nice pull down menu with different UA strings to choose from. For example my ISP's account modification webpage demands IE so before I go there I switch to "Internet Explorer 6 Windows XP" - it makes both them and me happy, they get the warm fuzzy feeling that I'm using what they want me to and I get to be happy knowing that neither XP nor IE6 will ever touch my system. - DW
