I want to use the web browser Epiphany as a secondary browser, but Windows Live Mail won't let me log in using this web browser. For that reason, I want Epiphany to identify itself as another browser, e.g. Firefox. Is this possible?

No, unfortunately, epiphany doesn't support masquarading itself as another browser. If you would like a browser with this capability, Midori is a nice lightweight web browser that supports disquising itself as other browsers. Hope that helps!

Thank you for the alternative, but for some reason, Windows Live Mail won't let me log in with Midori, using the plugin you mentioned. – Exeleration-G Nov 21 '11 at 18:00

Hmm... does a VM with windoze work? – William Nov 21 '11 at 18:19

That is strange that you have to use Windows or Mac to use hotmail. – William Nov 22 '11 at 02:31

I've just checked, but Windows Live Mail won't let me log in with Midori on Microsoft Windows 7 either, even when using the disguise. – Exeleration-G Nov 22 '11 at 14:24

Hmm... this is yet another case of Microsoft being a pain. This is unfortunate, and I'm not sure what to tell you. – William Nov 22 '11 at 17:29

Well, nothing, really. You answered my question, which I'm thankful for. – Exeleration-G Nov 22 '11 at 20:36

No, I can use Ubuntu's Firefox to open Windows Live Mail. It just won't work in Midori or Epiphany, not even when it's used on Microsoft Windows. – Exeleration-G Nov 24 '11 at 13:18

Oh... that's good. At least it's openable at all. – William Nov 24 '11 at 17:30
