Since firefox 17.0 I get this pop out message:

"Your browser may not be able to handle this page"

when ever I open my page:

http://lnx.sinapsi.org/public/OperazioniFrazioni2/OF2.htm

I made so many similar pages using Hotpotatoes but neither Internet Explorer neither Chrome shows that warning, only Firefox 17.0

Why? What is it?

if you cannot edit the source code manually, please try downloading the new version of hotpotatoes & rebuild your pages - the issue is also referenced on the front page of http://hotpot.uvic.ca/

hello, this is because the gecko version of the firefox useragent has changed since firefox 17 (see bug #588909) & how the source code of the page looks for the version of the browser:

if (this.geckoVer < 20020000){this.min = false;}


firefox 16 would identify itself as:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:16.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/16.0

now the new versions are like this:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:17.0) Gecko/17.0 Firefox/17.0

I understand but there is any solution ?

i would change that part of the source code into:

if (this.geckoVer < 20020000 && this.geckoVer > 19700000){this.min = false;}

I would too, if only I were able to do it :-)

I see, may I say that therefore this is a bug belonging to Hotpotatoes rather than to Firefox? I can't understand it. Anyhow thanks for all your answers.
