Very interesting ... I just found another one.  My bank's web banking page 
tells me I must use a browser with javascript enabled ... but javascript IS 
enabled. And I can't find anywhere in the preferences how to change which 
browser string Firefox returns.

I'm running FC3, no updates. Fresh install. No browser extensions or anything 
funky installed yet. On a whim, I enabled popup windows to see if that 
affected anything. Nope.

FC3 hates me. My sound card won't work. Shutdown doesn't work. mp3's wouldn't 
work. My USB thumbdrive locks up the USB subsystem. One thing at a time, 
though ... have to be able to browse ...
