Recently installed Pale Moon Portable Atom/XP 25.6.0 on a USB flash drive.
When accessing a certain web based email site (which requires Firefox compatibility mode enabled for full functionality) , it doesn't recognize this, and reverts to a more primitive version of the webmail interface.
The Atom/XP non portable version 25.6.0 is accepted as fully compatible.
Is there a user agent string, or some other config modification to PM portable that will make the it 'smell' to the host like the non portable version?
I noticed Opera also reverts the site to this primitive mode, disabling numerous features.
As always, I disable FF compat mode, which works fine on most sites I access.
For reference, the company that runs the web mail is 'United Online', and they operate NetZero and Juno.

In about:config, make a new preference of the String type, named general.useragent.override.example.com with a value of Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv: 31.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/31.0, replacing example.com with the required domain name.

Thanks again! I will try this string after solving that 'other' problem, i.e. not being able to work on FB sites.squarefractal wrote:In about:config, make a new preference of the String type, named general.useragent.override.example.com with a value of Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv: 31.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/31.0, replacing example.com with the required domain name.
If PM Portable spits your suggested UA out to the host, I'll bet it will be smooth sailing.
