And once again, Intuit is doing browser checks on their TurboTax site
and refusing to run any browser if the OS is Linux.

Firefox on Windows or Mac is fine, but not Linux.

I got around this before by finding a UA Switcher config that fooled it.
Anyone know where I can find one that has FF 3.0 on Windows as an
option?

"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008120122 Firefox/3.0.5"

is a User Agent string on an XP system with FireFox 3.0.5. You can
simply add this to User Agent Switcher.

Thanks! This is exactly what I was looking for.

Cheers,

Chris
