  There is no need to do a reset of Firefox and create a new profile.
  
  You should probably only to reset the pref general.useragent.override on the subject: config page.

  You can check the problems caused by a possibly corrupt user agent.

• "Not found/no support" so-called browser on FF 9.01. What should be the configuration under 'useragent' entries filter? Think mine are screwed!

  I had some problems with some sites saying that my browser has been "not supported" or "not recognized" or "must be upgraded. Al; so I was getting strange behavior when I used my iGoogle homepage or the search functions of Google.
  

  I UPGRADED to 9.01 FF, but the problem continued and I noticed that some add-ons have been listed as incompatible when they should have been

  I found an old article on the entries 'useragent' in config of FF. What I have / had did not match the article. I tried the RESET on them, but I'm NOT sure if I did it right!

  That my entries be with FF 9.01 in the config "useragent" filoter and how to correct any errors?

  This pref should not be there at all on the subject: config page. If you reset the pref general.useragent.override then it will get a value of empty string and withdrew the comments: config on the next start page. Then your user agent will be the default value.

• UserAgent string to uniquely identify the version of Firefox

  How can I have my useragent contain only information on identifying my browser like Firefox and this is the version? I am aware of the addon allows me to disguise myself with useragent to another browser, but that's not what I am especially looking for the settings reset with each session.

  You can create a new string in subject: config called general.useragent.override and set it to what you want to display. You will need to update each time that you update Firefox, if you want to show the correct version of Firefox. You can create a new string by clicking right on topic: config and selecting new > String

  Be aware that removing parts of the user string can cause certain sites that rely on sniffing user agent to not display properly.

• custom UserAgent string is no longer in effect for FF4

  about: config, I had a defined custom useragent string, but when I upgraded to FF4, it is no longer used, site see the FF4 standard user agent string

  If I visit a page in FF4 and empty the contents of the global var $_SERVER in PHP, it shows the FF4 standard user agent.

  It is possible to add things to the user agent string in Firefox 4. The only option available is to replace using general.useragent.override

  Hey Buddy

  • In the Firefox address bar, type "subject: config" and press ENTER.
  • Press the button "Add a new setting", and then select the type "String".
  • Name, enter "general.useragent.override".
  • For value, enter the user agent string browser you want to use. You can do a Google search for the channels of your favorite browser user agents and the operating system. In this example, we use the string user agent for the desktop version of Firefox on Windows 7 17.

  Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; RV:17.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/17,0

  • Restart Firefox and confirm that websites load the desktop versions. That's all.

  If you want to change the user agent later, back to about: config and search for "general.useragent.override". Press the button to change the user agent or the Reset button to remove it.

  I hope this helps.

  See you soon,.

• Firefox for Android only displays the desktop version of gmail rather than mobile.

  Android only question.

  I prefer to access gmail via a browser rather than the gmail app. Tests of other browsers on Android (Chrome and Dolphin) I see that they display a mobile-specific version of the gmail Web site.

  Firefox for Android only displays the version of office on my Nexus 7 (5.1 runs Android 2012) - and therefore more difficult to read and use. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Well, Yes, it's that Word annoying Tablet.

  What I'm going to describe is difficult to type, so I hope that you can open this page on your tablet.

  Select (0) and copy the following text on your Tablet if possible to avoid the excesses of type:

  general.useragent.override.mail.google.com Android; Tablet;#Android; Mobile;
  

  The forum linkifies this first part, but it is not supposed to be a link.

  (1) open a new tab to Subject: config (type about: config the Awesomebar and hit the arrow go or tap Enter).

  You can bookmark it for easy future access.

  (2) in the search box, type agen and make a pause while Firefox filter list

  (3) scroll down to the bottom and look for a preference named general.useragent.site_specific_overrides and confirm that it has its default value true. If it is set to false, press the reset button for it back to true.

  (4) scroll back up and press the big button "+" to the left of the search box to add a new parameter

  (A) the name of the preference must be general.useragent.override.google. com (for all Google sites) general.useragent.override.mail.google. com (for Gmail only)

  If you type this, beware of the correction automatic insertion of spaces and be sure to remove those.

  If paste, remove the part after that.

  (B) on the right side, type Boolean and in the popup, change it to a String

  (C) the value of the preference should be Android; Tablet; #Android; Mobile; -in other words, substituting Mobile for Tablet.

  If you type, pay attention to the excess spaces.

  If gluing, remove the preference name and extra space before this part.

  (D) then click on create

  If you open https://mail.google.com/ must now use the mobile layout.

  Success?

  Edit: To clarify the name of preference options.

• Often, I get a "Page not found" error when I click on the links.

  After the last update of Firefox, I have problems with the links in the emails or websites. When I click on them, often, I get a 404 error and webmasters often say they have tested the links and they work very well. I'm starting to think it's a browser problem, like the frequency of this problem is bigger daily. I'm wrong?... If I'm not, please help me to fix it.

  Thank you

  Difficulty of problems connecting to websites after Firefox update

• How can I turn off the mobile mode.

  I have a 10 nexus, which, with a 10 "screen, isn't really a mobile device. Unfortunately, Firefox is indicative of the web pages that it is. Given this information, some web pages redirect to a short page. Turn on "site office request" does not work since I'm no longer on the site I want and this button is not persistent. So the question: How can I enable notification of mobility?

  Hello

  Please try to change the user agent.

  To change the User Agent string, just enter about: config as an address in the address bar of FireFox, where you normally enter a URL (link). I recommend you keep the original value, you can get when you enter about: in the address bar.

  Now press the right button of the mouse for the contextual menu and select 'Chain' of the menu entry 'new '. Enter the preference name "general.useragent.override", without the quotes. Then enter the new value of User Agent: "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1;". Win64; x 64; RV:25.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/25.0 "(sans guillemets)."

  I hope this helps!

• Why DocQ doesn't tell my browser is not supported and I need Firefox 3. Which one should I?

  I just signed up for DocQ on ramp to scan and complete the forms. registration and sign seemed to work OK
  but then, I had the support not your browser window advising me to download Firefox3, I seem to have
  23, so I'm a little in the dark! Best regards; Paul

  The DocQ site doesn't seem to work with Firefox 18 or lower (give a warning at the top of Firefox 19 bar)

  You can override the user agent for a domain to view a specific version of Firefox XX (in this case 18 of Firefox).

  • Name: general.useragent.override.xxxx.com (replace xxxx.com with real estate)
  • Value: (rv: |) Firefox /) \d {2} #$1XX (replace XX with the version of Firefox required)

  You can open the topic: config page and create a new pref to string via the context menu

  • Name: general.useragent.override.docq.com
  • Value: (rv: |) Firefox /) \d {2} #$118
  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/about:config

  You can alternate substitutions specific site power via the general.useragent.site_specific_overrides preference.

  If the site is still not working properly, then you can try the portable version of Firefox 18.

  The portable version comes with its own profile folder and does not interfere with the currently installed version.

• Web sites say Firefox 23 as incorrect version

  I run Firefox with several user accounts, home and work. The account works constantly receives messages is not the latest version. Until I updated to 23 FF the other day, I was able to follow the instructions here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/websites-say-firefox-outdated-or-incompatible#os=win7 & browser = fx4 and he would work at least one or two instances of the browser. However, now, it does not solve the issue for any period of time, and my browser is still outdated reports. Topic: configuration value, general.useragent.override is Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; RV:2.0.1) Gecko/20130814 Firefox/4.0.0; XS-jDp3O1E2SCA; CmUD2V;. It's the only useragent inputs that can be reset to my subject: config. The system is a Lenovo T520 with Win 7 Enterprise x 64.

  You have a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder?

  Note that Windows hides certain default file extensions.
  
  Among them include .html, .ini and .js, .txt, so you can see only a name without the file extension.
  You can see the actual file type if you open the properties via the context menu

  The user.js file appears only if you or another software created, therefore, normally, he wouldn't be here.
  
  You can check its contents with a text editor if you do not create this file yourself.

  The user.js file is read whenever you launch Firefox and initializes the preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences that cannot be changed temporarily for the current session.

  You can rename or delete the file prefs.js and possible numbered prefs-# .js and a user.js file possible to reset all default prefs.

• Gmail and other sites work normally

  This happened to me with Pale Moon, and then I backed up Firefox (23.0), which worked well for a few days and then developed the same symptoms:

  Google sites do not work properly. Gmail shows the simplified view, telling me to upgrade the browser. Google search is not display options, game Google does not show a search bar.

  MMORPG.com will not let me, log, complaining "Cookies not detected."

  Cookies are on (and in fact the value of MMORPG.com, I erased the and they have been recreated) and Javascript is, everything seems normal, and most of the sites are working fine. However, these two problems are enough to make me crazy (especially the Google sites to problem).

  Edit: I noticed that I have problems with some other sites.

  You have a pref general.useragent.override which is corrupting the user agent.
