I'm getting a lot more messages on web sites than I used to to upgrade my browser. My general.useragent.override string is: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:59.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/59.0

Can I change this so I get less nags to upgrade?

Firefox is now at 70, there's no point in advertising any version older than that.

I don't know about that.

We are required to use a specific site to enter billing information for one of our customers, a Fortune 50 Corporation You Have All Heard Of. It won't accept any modern browser, Internet Explorer, Edge, Chrome, and Firefox all fail and of course it won't accept SeaMonkey.

The Popup lists these three choices:

Internet Explorer 8
Firefox 3.6
Safari 4

I was afraid of using a browser so old or spoofing a user agent that old so I went ahead and installed Firefox 3.6.19 (I think that was the last update) on one computer and it works. I have issued instructions not to use that browser for anything else and turned off updates. I'm sort of surprised it even runs on a recent x64 version of Windows.

Rob, did you try using your current'ish SeaMonkey/Firefox, setting up an account to be used just for that one customer but spoof the User Agent to suit the old FF UA.

This could work, if it were just you working on that one computer, but, if multiple users use that computer, it might be more effort than it's worth!!
