Why won't Youtube, Bandcamp, and even Firefox's own Feedback link, recognise that I am in fact using the latest version of Firefox?
I automatically update my Firefox, but certain websites resolutely claim I'm using an 'outdated browser', notably Youtube, Myspace, Bandcamp, and even (I've just discovered) Firefox's own Feedback link. Are they making an assumption based on the fact that I still use Windows XP, or is there something - a setting, maybe - that I can adjust? From the Troubleshooting Info I've pasted below, it looks like the 'User Agent' line is the problem; but what do I do about it?

Try resetting your user agent string.
Type about:config into the location bar and press enter. Accept the warning message that appears, this will take you to a list of preferences.
In the search box at the top type general.useragent
Right-click on each entry that appears and select Reset, this will set the value back to the default value. If it is already set to the default the reset option will be greyed out.
Restart Firefox and it should correctly identify your version of Firefox.
