Re: Unable to logon to several web sites

Hi,
Try changing the User-Agent string.

Look for "Otherwise, run one of the following scripts and restart all
browser instances to see the change:" on this page
http://www.fiddlertool.com/ua.aspx

If you will be changing the User-Agent info often, you may want to install
the User-Agent Picker add-on. (Just above that section.)

Hope this helps,
