FWIW, I'm able to access the site with Firefox version 1.5.0.3 for Linux
by;
1.) Using the extension, "User Agent Switcher 0.6.8" & setting it to
"Internet Explorer 6 (Windows XP)".
2.) Setting "network.http.sendRefererHeader" to 0 (zero) in about:config
Note, the default setting is 2.
3.) Enabling cookies/java script. I usually keep these two disabled ;-)
As always, YMMV
Interesting new development. I am now able to use Linux/Firefox to get
into the Census. Without hacking the browser to do it. Currently doing,
will finish the email after I am done to tell you how it turned out.
- If you get the "unresponsive script," just click continue.
The comments text area is limited. On paper I would have written
smaller to get more in. I ended up using symbols "&" and dropping some
apostrophes. I didn't get to say all, but I ended saying Support Linux pls!
What was different about my setup from last time.
- First attempt: FC5, FC5 based Firefox/Seamonkey/Mozilla and official
Opera, official Java
- This attempt: FC4 and official Firefox, official Java
Did my email to my MP (who is running in the leadership race for the
Liberals) make the difference? Maybe they got a lot of phone calls? Or
was it that I was using an official build of Firefox instead of a distro
compiled RPM?
Well, for anyone who hasn't submitted their paper media and wants to
give it a try, I would greatly appreciate feedback on your adventures.
Tomorrow, or the next day I will send and update to my MP and let her
know of the status change.
Thanks,
Stephen Mirowski
