[Bug 95241] Re: firefox - the connection was reset - Fiesty

[Bob Stoll]

Jin,
   I reported this bug originally.  What was happening was when surfing 
through a Check Point  VPN-1 Edge device (haven't check it with 
full-blown Firewall-1 yet).  SmartDefense was picking up on the "ist" 
substring of "feisty" in the user-agent field and identifying it as 
IST-Bar adware.    I changed the user-agent string from "feisty" to 
"festy" and have not had any problems since.
   I also submitted this bug to Check Point but as yet I have not heard 
anything back.
