SeaMonkey 2.53.7

Post by bigjeff66 »

I updated to SeaMonkey 2.53.7 from SeaMonkey 2.53.6. I have encountered a problem with either browser . When trying to go to Realtor.com which I use for business every now and then I can not access the site, I get an error message
" As you were browsing, something about your browser made us think you might be a bot. There are a few reasons this might happen, including:

Please complete the Challenge below, to regain access to the site."
The problem is there is not challenge below. It blinks for a second when loading the page. Any Idea what the problem is?

Realtor.com works fine for me using SM 2.53.7

Yeah, the site seems to work fine for me, too. @bigjeff66 do you have Javascrpt and cookies blocked, as the message is suggesting to you? Perhaps create a new profile in SeaMonkey and see if it works from there.

I have used realtor.com for years. Glad its working for all of you but that remark does not help me. This just started happening when I upgraded. I do not have cookies blocked. Don't know how to find if Java is blocked. A while back a Java update deleted Java.

One question is why would realtor.com suggest that I am a bot?

Maybe cause of your useragent, or blocking cookies, or blocking generally, or not being logged in?
Spoof it to a current FF UA & see that makes a difference?

I do not have cookies blocked and javascript enabled. What would I be logging into realtor.com? What would I need to change in useragent?
Thanks

Did the about:config thing the useragent this is what it said. Let me know if you see anything wrong.

Currently it appears your UA is:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0
so just change that to something more recent & see if that helps any?
Something like (say the latest ESR):
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:78.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/78.0
about:config, right-click, New -> String:
general.useragent.override.realtor.com
& give it a value of:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:78.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/78.0

It may or may not help?
Fire 750, bring back 250.
