compatibility with FF94 #140

I cannot believe that a recommended add-on doesn't work at all. This however is exactly the situation I am facing - even the most simple tests fail, the UA (as shown in tool-tip) is never the same as the one just selected in the pop-up (and applied with the apply button).

My environment : browser FF94, platform mac, no other FF add-ons installed which may interfere with the UA switcher. Tried resetting FF, resetting the UA switcher, disabled caching (to be sure). Unfortunately github does not allow me to attach useragent-switcher-preferences.json file.

Could this be a problem between FF94 and the UA switcher, which has not yet been detected ?

The problem is solved.The tool-tip indicator shows the last UA string (as reported to the website opened), not the current setting. As far as I can tell this is not properly documented. It is of course possible that I missed it (in FAQ or elsewhere).
