I use Moz 1.7.2 on WinXP SP2. I want to log in to a bank site (http://www.bancanet.com/) but the site tells me I must use IE 5.5 or better (I think Mozilla is better!) or Netscape 7.1+. I have tried to spoof the useragent, as you can see at the bottom of this post. It does not help. I have reluctantly used IE to access this site. User comments about the "User Agent Switcher 0.5" extension talked about using it to access their bank sites so I expected it to work for me. Does anyone know what this bank site might be looking for besides the useragent?

[I know I can install Navigator 7.2 and that should work, but I like 1.7.2 and resent being told what browser to use.]

UserAgent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1)

You'll have better luck spoofing Netscape than IE. www.bancanet.com allowed me in using Firefox after I spoofed Netscape 7.2 with an agent string I picked up from a post in another thread: "UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040804 Netscape/7.2 (ax)"

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040912 Firefox/0.10

All I get is a 403 error

This happened to my wife, using NS7.1, a while ago. Mozilla1.6 was being used preferentially. I used the User Agent switcher from within the Prefbar.
I came up with something ridiculous like IE for Macs, and it accepted.
When, I sent a feedback, it was clear that they had no idea what I was talking about.
But, this happened with a website which was providing stationary for OE. I was able to get as far as the download, and then I was stopped.
Finally, most Yahoo music and video cannot be fooled when I fake the user agent.
Yahoo tells me to "upgrade" to 4.8!

Thanks AKBASH, I added the Netscape 7.2 user agent to the useragent switcher and got in OK. The page formatting was a little off but readable.

Al, I sometimes get a 403 when I try to log in with mozilla.

Thanks, All for the help.
