Website doesnt detect my version of Firefox

more options

Sorry for my bad english because I'm french.

I got a problem with firefox: when a go to youtube, twitter,... it said me to upgrade my firefox. If I look on 'About Firefox' in my browser, it said: version 3.6.3. I would like instal an add on but it said that my version isnt compatible. So I think that I have a problem with the detection of my version of Firefox by website. Once again, sorry for my bad english ^^

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== A few month ago

Check the general.useragent prefs on the about:config page. You can open the about:config page via the location bar, just like you open a website. Filter: general.useragent If any general.useragent prefs are bold (user set) then right-click that pref and choose Reset.

Disable the MEGAUPLOAD extension and right-click->reset any bold user set prefs in about:config when you filter for useragent
