[luau] Browser interface question

[MonMotha]

Running 1.1a here and don't see it, but I'm on linux...let me guess, 
you're on Windows?

Mozilla gets detected as Netscape 5, which the javascript on that page 
sees ONLY ON WINDOWS, not on "X11" (linux and other UNIXes).

I bet it would work just fine if you spoofed your useragent.  See 
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46029 for info regarding a 
UI for this, and vote for it if you fell strongly.  Of course this isn't 
a real solution, but hey, IE still says "Mozilla, Compatible" in it from 
when they were the little guy in town.  Unfortunately, this is why the 
user-agent is largely useless at a bunch of sites as they use javascript 
"features" to see what browser you're running (what's supported, what 
isn't, etc).
