Bug: User Agent Status 1.7.2

[marigold]

I've set the following UA using User Agent Status:

Code: Select all

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/121.0

But whatismybrowser.com and whatismybrowser.app can detect the change and report the original UA?

I use for UA

Code: Select all

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; rv:120.94) Gecko/20230101 Firefox/120.94

rv=Firefox/Version
Then If I browse to AutoIndex ie http://www.beitdina.net/aleppo/ I get on bottom

Code: Select all

Browsing with: Firefox - 68.0 :: from OS: Windows-Desktop-PC, on a server with PHP 5.6.13-pl0-gentoo & OS Linux

With the browser of Palemoon 32 I get

Code: Select all

Browsing with: Firefox - 102.0 :: from OS: Windows-Desktop-PC, on a server with PHP 5.6.13-pl0-gentoo & OS Linux

And UA is not downgraded.

The user agent changes are site specific. If you want to see a different user agent for whatismybrowser.com, you will have to set one for that website.

Developer of the extension here. I cannot reproduce what OP is experiencing. I've set the UA in both sites using my extension's UI functionality in the status bar, and the site reflected the change as expected.

I am on PaleMoon 32.5.2 (Mac) version. The https://whatismybrowser.app/ site now shows the user agent correctly. But when I visit https://www.whatismybrowser.com/ this is what it shows:

I checked about:config and it shows the settings are correct:

Code: Select all

general.useragent.override.whatismybrowser.com = Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/121.0

(Note that I have cleared all history and am browsing in Private Mode.)

whatismybrowser.com is using the platform property of the Navigator object to detect your "real" OS, not the user-agent.

You can fiddle with this by creating an about:config item called general.platform.override
