What should I put as the Navigator Application name (in bold) for it to recognize if firefox is being used or not? I've tried mozilla firefox... and that doesnt seem to work!

That would be because the appName that firefox shows up as is Navigator, not mozilla.

You need to use the User Agent string to get a real idea of what browser they're using (navigor.userAgent).

that should be a server side call anyway. If javascript is turned off or some dt app is blocking js , then what are you going to do.
