Read the WWW::Mechanize docs, it lists the valid user agents. 'Firefox/3.5.7' isn't a valid user agent alias ~~string~~. See also Firefox User Agent Strings. Update: Yes, I messed up, I meant to say'Firefox/3.5.7' isn't a valid user agent alias, rather than string. Thanks ikegami	[reply]

You mean it's not a valid user agent alias. It is a valid user agent string, which means it could be passed to `->agent()`, but it's not one Firefox uses. You can get some agent string used by Firefox on this page.	[reply] [d/l]
