The web site for mozilla feature of being able to detect the operating

Unfortunately this technique is used my a few (sometimes well known)
websites to block non IE browsers.

But that's why things like the User Agent Switcher extension for firefox 
exist :o)

But i hate doing that. I want it to show in web server logs that i was using 
Firefox, Konqueror or what ever on GNU/Linux not just add another tick mark 
against IE6 WinXP Home or what ever user agent you choose to fake.
