i could have explained that better - especially if you want to
continue spoofing the user-agent, this is what youd need to mind
the likely cause of the rejection, is because the user-agent
there is more to it than the user-agent string - there are
several associated config vars which affect that cloudflare
browser check - i have been patching icecat like so, since 2021,
specifically to fix this problem
Hi, Mark!
I have not used IceCat 102 myself, but the user that reported this
claimed they were using 102.3esr. I pulled the user agent string from
nginx logs from a jitsi-meet instance so some people are using it in the
wild.
I made a server-side change to correct IceCat to Firefox on the

just to nit-pick, that web-based conference tool is named
'jitsi-meet' - 'jitsi' is a java-based SIP client, also from the
jitsi team - 'jitsi' is significantly older - the more recent
popularity of web conferencing, combined with the decrease in
popularity of SIP, has people generally confused
this bug prevents icecat from accessing many websites (any which
guard traffic via cloudflare, for example) - gitlab is perhaps
the most popular example - it was a long-standing bug in
iceweasel also; but i eventually identified and solved the
problem; and i made a patch for gnuzila also
I received a report that an IceCat user was not able to use Jitsi with
IceCat 102. They reported that changing the user agent string to
Firefox fixed their issue.
IceCat 102 should work with Jitsi, but the way that bowser reads the
user agent string returns that the browser is IceCat which
