If you go to about:config in MicroB (type it in the address bar and accept the warning), what is general.useragent.vendor and is it bold? Is there a setting for general useragent.override?

general.useragent.vendor Status: user set Type: string Value: Firefox/3.5 Maemo Browser 1.4.1.22 RX-51 N900

general.useragent.override Status: user set Type: string Value: Maemo Browser

I'd very much appreciate if someone else checked these two preferences/options in microB by typing in about:config in the url bar.

If you're using HideUserAgent, turn it off from its Control Panel applet.

But I've never even had that app installed. :/

Yeah the
general.useragent.vendor Status: user set Type: string Value: Firefox/3.5 Maemo Browser 1.4.1.22 RX-51 N900

is exactly the same as mine and Ovi store works ok, I'm not sure what else it could be that could detect what version of the OS you are running.

OK, so the override value shouldn't be set. It's, erm, overriding the standard user agent identifying MicroB to the webserver with just the string "Maemo Browser". So the store can't tell whether you've updated your firmware or not. Dunno how it got that way, but just fix it by resetting the value.

Sadly you can't just right-click in about:config like you can on desktop firefox, nor will setting the value to empty work, so you can either (not recommended) edit ~/.mozilla/rtcom/prefs.js (you may need to kill browserd beforehand) or navigate to about:config, then in the URL bar, enter the following exactly (case sensitive, single line, and note different square/rounded brackets):

Code:

javascript:Components.classes["@mozilla.org/preferences-service;1"].getService(Components.interfaces.nsIPrefBranch).clearUserPref("general.useragent.override")

UQs,

Are you using Wifi or cellular connection to go to the store (I am wondering if the network provider is somehow messing with your user-agent - should not be, but...)?
Also you could try to see what is the user agent the servers see, for example using a web site like whatsmyuseragent.com

Interestingly, sometime today the Ovi Store link on the desktop began to work for me (West Coast, US).

It didn't after the update to 1.01 and I had to use the store.ovi link - but now it does (it redirects to store.ovi.mobi once it gets to the browser)

That method works great until i restart the browser. It doesn't seem to save the changes.
