[Mark Filipak]

Is the latest Firefox version 42?

Would someone kindly post the 'User-Agent' string?

Thank You.

Yes, 42.0. If it's a question that comes up often, you might want to
bookmark <https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/notes/>, which will redirect
to the release notes for the latest version, which include the version
number.

Here's mine:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:42.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/42.0

You should be able to see your install's user-agent string (and
other interesting details) under:

about:support

Thanks, but Firefox isn't installed, so 'about:support' doesn't help.
I'm running Pale Moon, but I have to mimic a particular version of
Firefox in order to sign-in at, not my bank, but my bank's bill pay. A
company named Fiserv, Inc. handles the bill pay for most banks. Thursday
a week ago Fiserv's ignorant programmers implemented blocking code that
doesn't allow people to sign-in into the bill pays <iframe>-embed unless
they are running Chrome or Internet Explorer or Firefox or Safari. (I
guess they never heard of Pale Moon or Opera or Konquerer.) I haven't
been able to pay any bills for a week. Just today I learned about
'about:config' 'general.useragent.override'.

In 'about:config', I'm adding a new string:

NAME:
general.useragent.override.<...my-bank's-url-here...>
TYPE:
string
VALUE:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:42.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/42.0

It works!

Thanks for your help.
