Unable to install add-ons
When I visit any Add-ons page, instead of the button to install the add-on, a button stating "Only with Firefox - Get Firefox now" appears. Clicking this button takes me to the Firefox download page.
This is happening in Firefox, which just updated to the latest version (67.0.1) this morning.

Your System Details list shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time Firefox starts. The user.js file will only be present if you or other software has created this file and normally won't be present.
You can check its content with a text editor (right-click: "Open with"; do not double-click). The user.js file is read each time Firefox is started and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
You can delete the user.js file if you didn't create this file yourself.
You can use the button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page.

I uninstalled Flash. I also followed the instructions for resetting the user agent and restarted Firefox. Firefox is still showing the wrong user agent in about:config.
What's my next option for correcting the user agent?

The user.js had a single line in it: user_pref("general.useragent.override", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:50.0) Gecko/20161123 Firefox/50.0; xs-yXXal3WnNSs;"); I have no idea where that came from or why it was there.
I was able to delete the user.js and reset the general.useragent.override setting. After restarting Firefox all is working correctly again.
Thanks for your help!
