Post subject: Re: new security problem with old netscape

Well noted - most browsers have been fairly well accomodated, but we make no apologies for failure to maintain complete backwards compatibility.

To do so is an almost impossible task - the issue of compatibility is one that has plagued MS for years. Eventually, poeple must move on.

Otherwise, the simple solution is,
admin.php?op=security
Set "Unknown User-Agents" to "Inactive".

You will find that the Unknown UA feature will also preclude some other legitimate sites e.g. the CSS validator.

fast solution? change to a newest version of netscape, or firefox. Browsers too old have a lot of problems with websites,scripts,etc,etc,etc.

The issue here is using a very new browser/platform combination (user agent) that Dragonfly does not recognise.
