sagepub.com - browser support

['Mash-3]

I have just started using SAGE Publications (http://www.uk.sagepub.com) and discovered that I cannot use Conkeror or Firefox (Iceweasel 3.0.14).
Looking at the site via Firefox on a Windows desktop I see... https://secure.uk.sagepub.com/js/browserdetect_lite.js (needs "https")

Whats strange is that I can't work out why Firefox on Linux won't work, does not the above script check for the Gecko engine?

Have you tried using set_user_agent(...); in your rc?

Thanks that did the trick.

For interest sake, in the end I used:

    set_user_agent("Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0)");

I also found http://www.useragent.org which prints your useragent, very helpful.

By default without anything being set, Conkeror returns:

   Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.13) Gecko/2009082121

Still not really sure why sagepub.com does not like this.
