The .NET framework does not properly recognize the capabilities of Mozilla-based browsers like Netscape and Firefox by default. This is because the BrowserCaps section of the machine.config file declares Mozilla browser capabilities poorly. To fix this, the default BrowserCaps entry should be replaced with an updated entry that accurately detects modern browsers like Gecko-based browsers, AppleWebKit browsers, Konqueror, and Opera.

24.1 Why does my page show up poorly in Mozilla based browsers like
Netscape and Firefox?

The .Net framework recognizes the capabilities of the latest version of the above browsers poorly. This is

because, by default, the BrowserCaps section of the machine.config file (usually found under a folder like

"C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\CONFIG") declares the capabilities of the Mozilla based

browser poorly. So, you will have to replace the default entry in your install with this one: Mozilla

BrowserCaps .
