I thought I was supposed to leave the string off of licdn, linkedin, and yahoo.

I can't find any difference in the string you show and the one I show with yimg!?! What should be different?

Thank you.

It was one of tests for you - disable Firefox advertising, remove value strings for overrides and observe how websites will work. If they don't then put "fake" UA string for override.

Do you see it now?
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:78.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/78.0
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:78.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/78.0

"WOW64" is shown in UA for 32-bit SeaMonkey run in 64-bit OS (Windows 10)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WoW64
Look at bottom of your posts and you'll see similar information with WOW64.

"Win64; x64" is shown when using 64-bit SeaMonkey under 64-bit Windows.

Got it! I looked and looked and didn't catch the difference.

My override settings are not in conformance with your good instructions.

Thank you once again.

I'm afraid this is a case of bad webdesign - they make it work with Chrome and don't care about others. User Agent spoofing will not help here.

I can't test it more because it demands from me to log-in and I don't want to create account there. Sorry.
