override string for Amazon Prime
Although it wasn't true a couple of weeks ago, I find I cannot watch video on Amazon Prime on Basilisk. What is the useragent override string I should use? I'm using Windows 10.

Does AP require DRM?
Does Basilisk support DRM?
Otherwise, why not just try a "stock" FF (64) useragent & see if that works?

Yes, if it is enabled (under Preferences > Content).

What happens when you try? Do you get any sort of error message?

It says that I need to update my version of Firefox.
I do have DRM enabled (I'm not that clueless!)
I am not sure what the string in Windows is supposed to be.
This only happened in the last week or so. Earlier this month, I was doing fine without any override.

I don't believe it should make a difference if the string refers to Win 10 or 7 (assuming an override fixes the problem), but:
