Jan 11, 2016 7:39 PM in response to Linc Davisby chrismac65,Here it is. Clearly that info is not correct.... How can I change this?
Your USER AGENT information is Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_2; en-us) AppleWebKit/531.21.8 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.4 Safari/531.21.10 FBSMTWB
Every webserver that receives a request from your browser is able to determine the HTTP USER AGENT
information unless it has been removed by some software (e.g. firewall) before the request was trasmitted.

Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
If there's an extension with the name "Fast Browser Search" or similar, remove it.
2. Back up all data before continuing.
Please triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
defaults delete -app Safari CustomUserAgent
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Quit Safari if it's running.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any one of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with Safari. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear below what you entered. You can then quit Terminal. Test.

Jan 11, 2016 8:02 PM in response to Linc Davisby chrismac65,Thanks,
I will try tomorrow after backing up all my files. What do you mean with "Test" at the end?
I guess that you just mean I try to use safari and I see if it is still reported as unsupported, or if it works?
Thanks a lot for the help anyway. Hopefully success tomorrow.

That's right.
