UA string includes actual OS, not OS configured in UserAgent-Switcher #53

W7 box with latest FF and UA-Switcher reports correct configured desired UA to remote website. Exact same configuration on W10 box reports correct desired configured UA except for OS, which remains W10.

W10 box is highly locked down, with mostly STIG compliant settings, so OS configuration may be preventing UA-Switcher from reporting correct configured/desired OS.

Apologies if this is a known issue, I couldn't seem to find posted solution.

Do you mean that the extension is not spoofing navigator.platfrom?

alabamatoy commented 5 years ago

I do not know how to answer this except to say that setting the OS within the add-on settings and using the test function (as well as the actual website I'm trying to use) indicates that the OS is correctly interpreted by the remote site in W7 as the desired add-on setting, but not in W10.

UA settings: UASwitcher1

UA "test" results: UASwitcher2

Works correctly on W7, same setup doesn't seem to work on W10. What am I doing wrong?

I have tried with both whitelisting and blacklisting and get same results.

Make sure your FF version is current. Are you using the black-list mode?

Removing the extension and reinstalling it might help.

Numerous reboots, FF update etc later, it has begun to function as expected on W10.

I apologize for reporting a false positive. Your immediate attention to my submission is greatly appreciated.
