whatsapp web in seamonkey

Post by Neko the gamer »

is there a way to get whatsapp web to work in seamonkey?

i saw in a thread that the way to do it was to change the user agent of SeaMonkey to make it appear to be firefox 60, but how do you do that?

screenshot for reference
(it essentially says that whatsapp web works with firefox 60+ since obviously it detected SM to be an older version of firefox since it's probably based on that)

in the addressbar enter about:config

RMB -> New -> String

insert general.useragent.override.whatsapp.com

insert Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:87.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/87.0

try whatsapp.com

Done :)

Yeah, I'm at this point too - the workaround is to paste some text from elsewhere into the chat box and then overwrite it. Bizarre, but it works (for the moment). I can't enter emojis though.
