The site http://toolbar.zynga.com/install/mw/ tries to identify if the browser is compatible with the Mafia Wars toolbar, however when using Minefield it says that my browser isn't supported and says that I need to install either Internet Explorer 7 or higher or FireFox 2 or higher
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://toolbar.zynga.com/install/mw/ and check for download link for the toolbar
2.
3.
Actual Results:
Unsupported Browser
Right now, we only support IE 7+ and Firefox 2+. We're working hard to add support for more browsers, but until we do, please download a supported browser in order to use the Zynga Toolbar.
Expected Results:
Show me a link to install the toolbar

Presumably this is a problem on all platforms and OS versions; they should be sniffing for "Gecko" instead of "Firefox".
Please let the authors know, and then let us know what their response is.

Workaround:
Change the string "general.useragent.extra.firefox" to "Firefox/3.7a5pre" using about:config and reload the toolbar page.

The site now redirects to http://zynga.com/?view=toolbar
And there is no specific message.
