The website uses the wrong part of the user agent to check the browser version. They use navigator.appVersion and that property is about the Mozilla/5.0 part of the user agent, so they always see a Firefox 5 version for any Firefox version. They would have to look at the Firefox/71.0 part of the user agent to get the actual Firefox version.

  • Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.2; Win64; x64; rv:71.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/71.0

See line 301.

You can contact the website and ask them to look into this matter.


var objappVersion = navigator.appVersion; => 5.0 (Windows NT 6.2)
var objAgent = navigator.userAgent; 
var objbrowserName = navigator.appName; => Netscape
var objfullVersion = +parseFloat(navigator.appVersion); => 5.0

var objBrMajorVersion = parseInt(navigator.appVersion,10); => 5
