..unless you really have to, best use auto agent switcher

"The choice of browsers will be updated every six months on the basis of several independent sources of market share information."

download autoagent switcher from this link:
http://kmext.sourceforge.net/macros/agentswitcherplus.7z
automatically changes the useragent to ff when it detects a site with bad sniffer..many popular sites with known bad sniffers are included and if you encounter a site that doesn't play nicely with kmeleon, simply add it to the blacklist by selected tools>user agent>add website and it will automatically use ff agent with that site.

I have not changed the UserAgent recently.smiling smiley
Does the agent switcher go back to the default UserAgent after closing the black listed site?

Yes - that is what it does. At default now going to Firefox e.g. at Yahoo.

p.s. Hope they exclude/ban all sites that force us to spoof from statistics.

This includes MS hotmail and many other popular sites.
