I just added "Firefox/2.0.0.14" to the end of the string in Epiphany and it is working now. I guess Ubuntu must have changed Epiphany to add the Firefox useragent.

In Epiphany 2.20, changing general.useragent.extra.epiphany to "firefox/2.0.0.14" or "Firefox/2.0.0.14" doesn't help. - -- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson LA USA We want... a Shrubbery!! -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFIIafxS9HxQb37XmcRAojaAJ42sypCFlZ70iQINI2/mxXmJNLXywCaAk5n wR/lqK6fBMlBY2PhlWFfjKI= =MB3a -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Thanks to Cameron for noticing such a nice little thing. I did not even realize there was a triangle to begin with on other OSes.

Thanks to Raj Kiran for the solution. > > raju Another thing you can do on google maps is to hide the headers and other cruft to make more room for the actual map. Here are two bookmarklets that I have written to hide/show the header in google maps: Hide the header: javascript:(function(){var a=document.getElementById(%22header%22);a.style.display = %22none%22})() Show the header: javascript:(function(){var a=document.getElementById(%22header%22);a.style.display= %22block%22})() -- Raj Kiran Grandhi -- Politics is for the moment.
