[SOLVED] IceWeasel is a pure pain in the tokus!

[RAV TUX]

Web Pages that normally just work in Firefox simply do not work in the IceWeasel, this is a unnecessary pain in the tokus (http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=tokus)!

I have spoken of this before, here is a screenshot.

There is a way to fix that. See this site (http://www.geticeweasel.org/useragent/).
However I advice using Swiftweasel (http://swiftweasel.sourceforge.net/), it doesn't have does problems and is a bit faster too (on my PC).

No vehicle in Portland Area :(Again the Flexcar (http://www.flexcar.com/) mainpage has no problem. You do not experience the problem and get the page I posted a screenshot of until you try signing in as a member.

Unless you are a member of Flexcar you would not be able to experience this problem in IceWeasel.

IceWeasel is the default web browser in Debian and many Debian derivatives like KNOPPIX and Elive to name a few.

Interesting, I only use knoppix for recovery purposes only..is it any better than swiftfox?

OK problem solved and the Flexcar member page renders perfect using the User Agent Switcher (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/59)

I honestly have never used swiftfox so I couldn't say.

The Iceweasel wiki page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iceweasel) explains the differences between Firefox and Iceweasel.

Swiftfox is an optimized version of Firefox while Iceweasel is (almost) a perfect copy of Firefox. There is however also a optimized version of Iceweasel called Swiftweasel (http://swiftweasel.sourceforge.net/).

EDIT: The Swiftfox developers don't fully comply with the MPL, GPL, or LGPL (http://www.getswiftfox.org/). So if you have a problem with that you're better of with Swiftweasel.

Here is a screenshot of the Flexcar member page working using the IceWeasel/Firefox extension User Agent Switcher (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/59) that renders the page as if it was Internet Explorer 7 in Windows Vista, opposed to IceWeasel in Elive Gem.
