Just tested in Firefox 1.5 Beta 2 and it works fine, User Agent String below:

 

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.8b5) Gecko/20051012 Firefox/1.4.1 - Build ID: 2005101209

Netscape is based on Firefox, so I think there shouldn't be much of a problem.

Isn't it the other way, Firefox was developed from parts of netscape?

same difference, they share core parts.

 

one isn't an offshoot of the other.

Firefox was taken from the rendering engine of Netscape, then development continued. Netscape now takes the Firefox engine, that has been developed by Mozilla, and then re-uses it in Netscape.

 

So Firefox took the code from Netscape, developed it further, and then Netscape used it again.
