Re: TB 60.5.0 User Agent String
You can see your user agent string using the error console command line.
i.e. Tools > Developer Tools > Error Console
Browser Console command line
http://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Tools ... mmand_line
Here is my user agent string.
http://developers.whatismybrowser.com/u ... underbird/
http://user-agents.net/email-clients/thunderbird
i.e. Tools > Developer Tools > Error Console
Code: Select all
navigator.userAgent + " " + Services.prefs.getCharPref("calendar.useragent.extra");
http://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Tools ... mmand_line
Here is my user agent string.
ExamplesMozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/60.5.0 Lightning/6.2.5

Re: TB 60.5.0 User Agent String
The user agent is listed in help -> troubleshooting information. Mine is Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/60.5.0 . The first time I copied that I wasn't aware that Lightning was disabled (side effect of temporarily using a daily build with the same profile as 60.5).
When I try to get the user agent via the error console I got:
navigator.userAgent + " " + Services.prefs.getCharPref("calendar.useragent.extra");
[Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x8000ffff (NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED) [nsIPrefBranch.getCharPref]" nsresult: "0x8000ffff (NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED)" location: "JS frame :: debugger eval code :: <TOP_LEVEL> :: line 1" data: no]
I installed a new copy of Lightning, restarted and got
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/60.5.0
from help -> troubleshooting information, and from the error console:
navigator.userAgent + " " + Services.prefs.getCharPref("calendar.useragent.extra");
"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/60.5.0 Lightning/6.2.5"
https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/prop_nav_useragent.asp says the user agent sent by your browser is just navigator.userAgent . If I enter that in the error console I get
navigator.userAgent
"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/60.5.0"
I looked at the raw source of a copy of a message I sent:
Subject: user agent
Message-ID: <a3b75263-3c29-b16c-16ea-da225ff84921@fastmail.fm>
Date: Thu, 14 Feb 2019 14:02:09 -0500
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101
Thunderbird/60.5.0
which omits any mention of Lightning, even though it was enabled when sending.
So I would argue that what is the user agent is context dependent, but normally omits any mention of Lightning unless you are doing something calendar specific.

Re: TB 60.5.0 User Agent String
I see the extra Lightning string when I open a content tab to the following site using the error console command line.
What's my User Agent?
http://whatsmyuseragent.org/
I don't see the extra Lightning string in the message files in the ImapMail folder.
Code: Select all
openContentTab("http://whatsmyuseragent.org/", "tab", "");
http://whatsmyuseragent.org/
I don't see the extra Lightning string in the message files in the ImapMail folder.

Re: TB 60.5.0 User Agent String
I don't want to see my useragent string. I want a place to view current useragent strings. I'm using TB 52.9.1 and I want to spoof my useragent with the current version of TB.
I saw those pages but they don't list current version of TB (60.5.1).

Re: TB 60.5.0 User Agent String
Good point. I know the enigmail add-on by default doesn't add a substring to the user agent, but it has the capability to do so. I wonder if http://whatsmyuseragent.org would see it or not. Its not clear to me how smart the various web sites to display your user agent are, its possible if they recognize Thunderbird in the user agent string they make another call to get the Lightning version because its usually bundled with Thunderbird.morat wrote:I see the extra Lightning string when I open a content tab to the following site using the error console command line.

Why? What are you trying to accomplish by doing that?L.A.R. Grizzly wrote:I don't want to see my useragent string. I want a place to view current useragent strings. I'm using TB 52.9.1 and I want to spoof my useragent with the current version of TB.
Support for general.useragent.override might be back . https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=933959 claims it was removed in Firefox 25 but a comment at the end says it works in Firefox 57. Its not defined by default in Thunderbird but you could experiment with adding it using the config editor

Re: TB 60.5.0 User Agent String
Well, you aren't likely to find a user agent string of a just released version in any database.
Version 60.5.1 first offered on February 14

FWIW - user string identified in header of message I sent myself using TB 60.5.1:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/60.5.1
I don't have Lightning installed.
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/60.5.1

Maybe this is not so important, but I'm using an old version of TB (new TB versions kill my add-ons). Since TB displays websites with HTML turned on, I was wanting to avoid "browser is outdated" warnings. I haven't received any yet, but thought I'd get a jump on it. I've already done this with FX and SM. Kudos!
