Firefox 3.5 Some JavaScript doesn’t load

Posted August 12th, 2009 by Matt Shadbolt

Had a strange issue today where my Gmail themes and Digg.com login/comments weren’t loading properly. It was only happening on my local machine, and loading those pages up in IE worked fine. The issue was obviously with my FF profile.

After some digging around with my Firefox profile, and manually removing lines from the prefs.js (I know, you should use the About:Config to make these sorts of changes), I found the offending line:

user_pref(“general.useragent.override”, “Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727)”);

Removing this line from the prefs.js file fixed the issue.
