I meant on;

Tools -> Quick Preference -> Edit site preferences... -> Network _
Browser Identification

I tried;
Identified as IE

and
Masked as IE

It always displays;

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; en)

Not as IE.


Some websites I visited only allow MS IE.  For such a reason if I don't
want going back to MS Windows I must find a solution.

Tks.
