Especially when using a lousy browser check which doesn't get that 
MozillaFirewbird is at least as recent as Netscape 7.2
This means that while recognizing Konqueror they will very likely fail to 
see Safari or any other pontential KHTML browser as valid.

Anyway, good to see Konqueror named, the web developer might be using KDE 
:)
