Hi.
As user of recent Mozilla Firebird [1] snapshots,
I'm having trouble browsing http://gcc.gnu.org.
It seems this issue is caused by improper handling
of the User-Agent of Firebird, which has
recently changed from:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030606 Phoenix 0.5
to
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030907 Firebird/0.6.1+
One can find more information here:

Please kindly ensure gcc.gnu.org website is
parsing the User-Agent properly.
Many thanks!
Best regards,
Everton
