Lets be honest, PM is not recognized by few sites as a modern current browser.
I had it few times when doing Paypal payments invoked from some merchant page.
So the only option was to change the User Agent string & everybody happy.
But the only add-on that used to work, does not exist any more.
User Agent Override does really odd things to toolbar, so not even possible to use it
While I managed to use Eclipsed Moon once, I did not like it, as many sites did not like it (I am talking about internal devices web servers)
Maybe I did not spend enough time configuring it.
Current User-Agent Switcher will not install on PM
So the question, is there anything that does work with current PM 28.4.x ?

The build-in SSUAO system (general.useragent.override.example.com, etc.) works fine.sebus wrote:So the question, is there anything that does work with current PM 28.4.x ?

Re: User Agent Switcher?
I use Random Agent Spoofer in PM now because of one particular setting it has. Eclipsed Moon was working too last time I used it. Neither is being maintained now though.
But my favorite version of User Agent Switcher was the Custom Button button by Odyseus, the Advanced version. You need the Custom Buttons extension to add the buttons. That isn't being maintained by the original dev anymore but Sonny is keeping it working for WF & PM.
https://odyseus.github.io/CustomButtons/
There are links to the CB forum on that page too.
Sonny's CB3 ver:
https://sonco.synthasite.com/custom-butttons-3.php
It's discussed on CB forum under Gen. Discuss. in srazzano thread.
Note: some old CB buttons, just like old extensions, can cause problems including crashes - caveat emptor - try in alternate profile or ask on CB forum.

Re: User Agent Switcher?
For info, User Agent Switcher (and other user agent tools) can also be found in the Classic Add-ons Archive.
Install this extension from here to access the archive.
If you're interested in Odyseus' user agent buttons, srazzano's (Sonny's) version of CB isn't the only option.
A fixed, very well-working version of Custom Buttons is available through its forum.
Yet another extension that includes a user agent tool is PrefBar v7.1.1.
It can be downloaded from its developer's archive, or installed from the Classic Add-ons Archive or Legacy Collector's website.
