weather.com radar won't activate

Post by Peter Creasey »

The weather.com radar activates fine with another browser, but it won't progress with SeaMonkey. User agent override had no effect.

Any suggestions?

Update SeaMonkey to latest 2.53.9.1 (64-bit preferably)... :-"

Works for me. Without UA override.

Oh! And remember! "Site specific override" is not per website. It's per domain. So you'll need it for:
weather.com
mapbox.com
... and maybe others if such website requires them.

If you're tired with such individual overrides then you can set general override:
general.useragent.override
(without any domain name it will work for all).
Set value:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:78.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/78.0
(latest Firefox ESR 64-bit for this moment)

After general override check Menu -> Help -> About SeaMonkey and you'll see new UA

Now you can remove all site specific overrides (will be obsolete). Find them, click RMB and choose "Reset". After restart of SeaMonkey they'll be history.

This general override should resolve FB problem too.

Thanks so much for that very valuable info.

NOTE: Since I'm using 32-bit SeaMonkey, wouldn't this be the correct value to set?...

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:78.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/78.0

Thanks.

Yes.
1) under 64-bit Windows 32-bit SeaMonkey will use subsystem "WOW64":

2) under 64-bit Windows 64-bit SeaMonkey will use native API that's why there is "Win64; x64"
