I just installed FFv63.1 (from 5.9ESR) in W10-Pro. Upgraded beautifully keeping my custom tool bar etc. Most prev extensions work OK. Had to correct general.useragent.override to Mozilla/63 to get new version NoScript 10 from direct download link.
I want to install Random User Agent --BUT THERE IS NO INSTALL BUTTON
FF extensions search util finds RUAgent but it gives me "ONLY FOR FIREFOX BUTTON" (I'm using FF Quantum)
User agent vendor string is: general.useragent.vendor;Apple Computer, Inc.
I reset to blank and still does not work. What is the correct user agent vendor string for FF? Mozilla....?

Re: No Extension Install Button
I cannot believe that the addons site relies on your user agent to determine if you can install the extension, but maybe it does. Make sure your useragent is not being mucked with when on the addons.mozilla.org site and try again.cram66 wrote:I want to install Random User Agent --BUT THERE IS NO INSTALL BUTTON

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... src=search <-- install button showed up just fine for me.

Re: No Extension Install Button
The AMO website certainly does sniff, not to determine if an extension will install, but to determine whether it even show you the "Add to Firefox" button (rather then the big green monster, "Only with Firefox - Get Firefox Now!").I cannot believe that the addons site relies on your user agent to determine if you can install the extension
Then the extension itself will have checks.
Possibly min version & max version.
Browser itself & whatever else.
And the extension must actually be able to install, be compatible.
@cram, why are you screwing around with useragents?
If you Reset your UA overrides, they will be set to their defaults &/or no longer exist, if that is the case.

Depending on the page, you can get around it by turning off JS.

but i think the current profile is messed up, not only the UA.Mozilla/6.3
and to avoid some more issues and remnants - create a new profile

or

This article explains how to selectively transfer Firefox user data and settings to a new Firefox profile
