> The new Hotmail is not working.
> I am using Hardy 8.04 (?)
> After reading the support forums the problem has been located.
> It's commonly a useragent issue.
> When the useragent information is modified Hotmail works again.
> However for me when I modify the information the new information only

> How can this change be made permenant and better yet why isn't it offered as an automatic

> general.useragent.vendor;Ubuntu------ Original value
> general.useragent.vendor;Firefox-------This makes Hotmail work again !
> What can you do to make this change permanent and offered as an update for users?
> Like I said when I close the session the original value returns and Hotmail does not properly function.
