Persistent UA on Relaunch #41

Open Woolwit opened 5 years ago

Woolwit commented 5 years ago

Thanks for an awesome Addon! I have a url listed in white-list mode. I use the Window option to set its UA. All good (web.skype.com on Mac/Firefox 68.0.1)! It's not that big a deal, but when I relaunch Firefox, while the tab/URL is persistent, the UA is not and has to be reset. Is that expected behavior, or is there a simple workaround to ensure the tab loads with the custom UA when relaunching FF?

You can always manually override this in the meantime (awaiting further guidance from the developer(s) )...

Go into...

about:config

... add the following new string...

general.useragent.override.web.skype.com

... and enter one of the following value (NOTE: These are not Android UA Values)...

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; rv:67.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/68.0

OR

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/76.0.3790.0 Safari/537.36

... Restart Browser and it should be working.

I've got a feeling that it should work but, I can't confirm this at this moment.

I hope it helps... :-)

Good Luck!

Thanks ibuprophen1! (in case anyone else is looking to replicate, the issue being Firefox is an unsupported browser for web.skype.com)

In FF

about:config

... add the following new string (right click New > string)

general.useragent.override.web.skype.com

... and enter the following value (this one worked for me) Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/76.0.3790.0 Safari/537.36

@Woolwit, I just updated my last post for clarity and added the UA you used.

All is kewl! :-)
