Pale Moon not recognised by google account.

Hi y´all! :)
Installed this here palemoon, and it looks very good. Fast and smooth - you all know. Wonder about one oddity;
After having signed in to youtube with my google account, I got an email from google saying that someone had signed in there (to youtube) from "Windows, Firefox 31.9". That was me, of course, but I run ubuntu-mate 14.04. And FF 31.9???
The version I run is 26.0.2-atom-en-US.linux-i686. On ASUS 1101HA.

Pale Moon uses a Windows Firefox 31.9 user agent for Google/YouTube sites (due to some compatibility issues that Google is not interested in fixing).

Thank you for prompt reply, Trava90! It took a while for me to discover the expeditiousness of "User Control Panel", and to locate your clarification...
In time I´ll learn how to insert the embarrased icon. :D
