[SOLVED] Pale Moon 25.4.1 PM4XP with Firefox/24.9 old UA

[KNTRO]

Hi there,

I had to reset Pale Moon using the about:support's Reset Pale Moon… button because it wasn't working fine. For the time being it's working OK. However I found this at about:config.

For both AMO & Netflix Pale Moon identifies itself as Firefox/24.9, reason why I can't install some add-ons from AMO.

I only checked this on Pale Moon For Windows XP, couldn't check this in other Pale Moon's builds.

I know how to easily edit it. Just wanted to tell you about in case this is in fact a default setting, so you can update it for future releases.

Best.

AMO requires Firefox 24.9 because otherwise it would offer us extensions that are not compatible with our extension API that has, on purpose, been kept on the pre-Australis level.

Netflix has never gotten back to me on the UA sniffing (no surprise) and never implemented a PaleMoon/xx.xx check either, so it's indeed a default to override with Firefox/xx.xx

A few more websites have preset default overrides like this. It often doesn't matter what version of FF Pale Moon pretends to be (with the exception of AMO).

Oh, thank you a lot for that explanation! I won't edit a thing in this case.
