It is recommended to remove the custom string when Firefox is updated to be webkit compliant or if Facebook changes their site’s coding again. Restart Firefox > Goto Tools > UAControl Options >Īdd Site > Site: > Select Custom > Paste this string into the Custom field: If you choose the last option above, as I did, here is how: Use a workaround by spoofing your browser’s UserAgent string to a webkit compliant string.Wait for the non-webkit browsers to upgrade their browser’s code to be compliant.Use a webkit compliant browser such as Google Chrome or Internet Explorer.You can wait for Facebook to fix its code for non-webkit compliant browsers.And of course, if the business owner didn’t agree to the protection, terrible things did happen. It was a thinly veiled threat in the guise of a helpful warning. A gangster would visit every retail small business in the neighborhood and offer them protection services for a monthly fee, with the warning that if they didn’t pay up, “something terrible could happen”. It reminds me of the Mafia’s old protection racket. In most cases the fake tech support people then fix a lot of problems that don’t exist in exchange for several hundred dollars worth of “protection” for one year. In fact, the pop-up notice was itself malware, which is why it wouldn’t go away. Many clients gave their credit card number to the fake tech support person at the other end of the call and allowed them to log onto their computer to remove the supposed “malware infection”. Some of these warning screens are accompanied by scary music or tech failure sounds. I have had several clients contact me after having responded to a scary notice on their computer screen that said their computer had been hacked and recommending that they call the toll free 1-800 number listed to reach a so-called Microsoft tech support service.
