The problem seems to be at Google+.
Enabling "Advertise Firefox compatibility" gives the UA string
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:23.0) Gecko/20100101
Firefox/23.0 SeaMonkey/2.20
Spoofing plain Firefox/23 via PrefBar gives the UA string
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:23.0) Gecko/20100101
Firefox/23.0
Neither of those work for accessing Google+. Can anyone who is actually
using Firefox/23 access Google+?
