Hi Melissa,

Dan (from Moodle) here. Unfortunately the firefox 'solution' for this
can't determine if the Moodle site is 'fixed' or not, so its non-
deterministic and so will be presenting the wrong useragent all the time
(unless the user has disabled the about:config setting:
general.useragent.complexOverride.moodle ).

Its difficult to decide what the best way forward from here. I suppose
ideally that firefox setting shouldn't be used any more as users have
had a while to upgrade their Moodle sites will be ok (the fix is applied
to the latest versions of 1.9, 2.2, 2.3 and (soon) 2.4

But non-upgraded Moodle sites will be affected still, also i've no idea
how quickly Mozilla could do that. For now a workaround for affected
users is to set the about:config variable.

  Translation for: "Kein Zugang: Die MNET-Session gibt es nicht!", ->
  "No access; The MNET-Session does not exist!"

  Tried with Mahara 1.6.1 & 1.6.2 on Ubuntu 12.04.1.
  This bug is reproducible.
