When switching to the new My Yahoo Beta http://cm.my.yahoo.com/, I get the following error messsage when using www-client/mozilla-firefox-2.0.0.4:

Sorry, the My Yahoo! Beta does not support your browser.
You can either use a supported browser or switch back to the original My Yahoo!.
Download a supported browser for free by clicking one of the links below:

    * Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher (Windows)
    * Firefox 1.5 or higher (Windows and Mac)
---

It appears that Firefox is identifying itself as Bon Echo and this is causing the My Yahoo Beta to reject access.

Reproducible: Always
