Re: guessthecorrelation.com --> message: "unsupported browser..."
OK...this is what I did
(using MOONCHILD's famous "User Agent Recipe"),
to access:
http://guessthecorrelation.com/
in PM 26.0.0,
without this site returning the
"browser not suitable..." error message.
In PM 26.0.0 opened about:config
(CAREFULLY!)
1) started a new entry (of type: "string")
2) name : general.useragent.override.guessthecorrelation.com
3) value : entered the UA string returned by demo.mobiledetect.net
for Firefox, which DOES work ok for this site...
( recognized by demo.mobiledetect.net as a computer, not a phone...).
I entered:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux i686; rv:44.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/44.0
4) re-started PM 26 for the site-specific UA to "take".
Done!
This site now works perfectly in PM 26.0.0.
My bottom line suggestion:
It would be nice if Moonchild
could implement all the steps in his "UA Recipe",
as a new, generic feature in PM 26.
This way, a new site-specific UA can be implemented by the PM user
in 1 or 2 clicks,
only for sites that get "confused" by PM 26.0.0 new UA
and think your browser's device is a phone,
not a computer...
This new PM feature would also be faster
than contacting (sometimes uncooperative) webmasters
and convince them to change their site's UA acceptance.
Just a suggestion,
hope you like it...

This would be something to consider writing an extension for.

OK, now using the excellent
"User Agent Switcher" addon
by chrispederick.com.
Works fine to change the User Agent
for those "pesky" websites
which refuse to accept PM 26,
(but work correctly in FF).
