Bon Echo and Google Maps

Google Maps http://maps.google.com doesn't seem to work with Bon Echo. When going to that web page it says "Your web browser is not fully supported by Google Maps". It seems that Google Maps doesn't recognise that the browser is actually Firefox. Has anyone found the solution to this problem?

Re: Bon Echo and Google Maps

Yeah, it's darn annoying. You can edit the user agent string by typing about:config in the address bar. I can't recall the setting in question which needs to be edited, but search for 'bon echo' and you will find it that way. (I think it was something like general.useragent)

No problem using Bon Echo with Google Maps here - I look at them all the time and have never had any trouble.  I've made no changes to Bon Echo, so I'm not sure why it doesn't work for you guys.

Re: Bon Echo and Google Maps

I too can/do use Google Maps with no problem..my useragent is set to the default BonEcho/2.0.0.1

EDIT..After thought..Do you have Java/Javascript installed/enabled??

PLEASE read and try to FIX/FILE BUGS instead of assuming other have/will.
