Which web browsers work best with Instagram
To make sure you have best experience possible, we recommend using the most up-to-date version of one of the following browsers:

Google Chrome
Mozilla Firefox
Safari
Microsoft Edge

Apparently, Instagram disables their more sophisticated tools with "not recommended" browsers.

My about:config reports:

general.useragent.override.instagram.com default string
Mozilla/5.0 (%OS_SLICE% rv:68.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/68.0

Moonchild, please do not curse me. This is my first post.
Thank you for this wonderful, marvelous web browser.

Sincerely in Christ,

Mozilla/5.0 (%OS_SLICE% rv:68.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/68.0

Firefox 68.0 is ancient, many years old, I'm sure Instagram wants nothing to do with it. Can you change your string to use the latest Firefox ESR version 128.0 in those two spots where it's currently using 68.0? Maybe that would help you a little bit.

Also, you can use the Pale Moon add-on Sasuga to change user agents on a per-site basis: https://addons.palemoon.org/addon/sasuga/

The instagram override is a default-supplied one that was needed in the past to make it work. If it no longer works then it needs to be updated (but I don't know to what...)
