Opera 7.01 does have a setting under Preferences => Network that allows it to be identified as IE6 but I can't find anything similar in Mozilla 1.2.1 or Firebird 0.6.

For the moment I have foresaken Netscape and settled on Mozilla. However, I am forced to use
Exploiter to update the department's study material on the university's SOL (Students on Line)
system which is apparently designed to be IE specific.

Had a technician here for a long time and was eventually told that only Exploiter would work. Didn't
seem to understand the following joke:

How many Microsoft software developers would it take to change a light bulb?

Answer: None. They would simply declare darkness the standard.
