Question

Thanks madperson, Yes, I did write my question from the same system, but I'm running 10.6, I promise. The system came with 10.5 installed but I upgraded to 10.6 a while ago. Here's a copy and past from my system profiler, and I've attached a screen shot of my About This Mac.

System Software Overview:

 System Version:	Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549)
 Kernel Version:	Darwin 10.8.0
 Boot Volume:	Macintosh HD
 Boot Mode:	Normal
 Computer Name:	Jeff Ashton's Computer (2)
 User Name:	Jeff Ashton (jeffashton)
 Secure Virtual Memory:	Not Enabled
 64-bit Kernel and Extensions:	No
 Time since boot:	15 days 14 minutes

The useragent is clearly a liar, do you know if there's any way to fix that?

ok, when i look closer it seems like your useragent is overwritten by some sort of toolbar or adware. please refer to this article in order to reset the user-agent settings in firefox, then it should work: Websites say that Firefox is outdated or incompatible even though it's the latest version

That fixed it. You're a Rockstar, madperson, thanks!

Hello! I have the same problem, I tryed to follow the steps to fix it myself but I couldnt reset 3 elements that where showew in the search, it was not possible, I would really apreciate your help!

Thank you

hello viturbo, without more information its difficult to know what might be going wrong...

when the preferences concerning the user-agent in about:config were not shown in bold that means they were already set to their default & can't be reset. please go to help > troubleshooting information, copy the whole contents of this page & paste them here into a forum reply, this might give us some further clues. thank you

& what kind of user-agent information is shown on that page? for jashton34, the question owner, it looked like this for example: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.2.10) Gecko/20100914 Firefox/3.6.10 FBSMTWB

Also trying to install google chrome is not possible because that my system doesnt match...but before I could do it... if this helps too

what OS are you on? mozilla & google don't support systems below os x 10.6 or on the powerpc architecture in their modern browser products anylonger...

Oh... I have 10.5.8 what can I do then¿?

is your device intel based? in this case you could upgrade to 10.6 and the browsers should still work - for more information please see Firefox no longer works with Mac OS X 10.5, http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard or contact apple's support.

Yes, its intel based. but how can I upgrade to 10.6?

You can call 1-800-MY-APPLE and order a dvd for $20 if you are in USA unless you can get one in Apple stores by chance.
