Yahoo! Mail Beta in Camino 1.5

The (not so new now) Yahoo! Mail Beta has never liked Safari/ Webkit. However, it used to work fine on Camino – until recently that is. I guess Yahoo! has changed some stuff, because not only does it dislike Camino now, there is no longer an option to “continue anyway” on unsupported browsers. I don’t like using Firefox on Mac (which supports the Beta), so I needed to find a way to allow the Beta interface to load.

Enter User Agent.

Install User Agent, restart Camino and use the following custom user agent string (“Other” in User Agent settings drop down), which allows the Yahoo! Mail Beta interface to load as of today:

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.1.2) Gecko/20070219 Firefox/2.0.0.2

Save it as Firefox 2.0.0.2 (Mac OS X PPC) if you like.

Enjoy.
