I am getting a ton of visits from a browser that is showing up in my Webtrends stats as "Mozilla" with version listed as "Version Unknown." It's almost 14% of my page views. This is separate from Firefox. Does anyone know what browser this is?

Had similar issues with this in the past. From what I've read, there is a big possibility that it is actually IE 11 (really, it comes down to how Webtrends interprets it). This is because IE recently made changes to its User Agent. See here.

    Oh actually this would make sense, because I just noticed IE 11 isn't showing up at all! Thanks. Commented Dec 9, 2014 at 16:25
  • I'm not sure how linking Mozilla to IE 11 makes sense, but it definitely clears things up.

  • @Mast: all major browsers have been pretending that they're Mozilla/Netscape for the last decade because of User Agent sniffings. Shows you how useful User-Agent is... not.
