Just for giggles I am trying just "Slackware".

Nope.

I'm still getting the ? now without all of the editing agent line stuff.

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:68.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/68.0.

Aha! So it's not being read correctly. Now here is what I have in my general.useragent.overridepreference string (as shown in about:config):
Slackware/Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64;rv68.4) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/68.4

Explanations?

oops now I am seeing that little daemon in my last post up there, because I am in FreeBSD right now.

it is like i have to leave and come back when this has figured it out. because this post has that ? question mark still, immediately after I post.

edit:

Refresh did it, It seems to be that it sees what OS it is running, but it needs a refresh for me to see mine. Let me bounce into Slack and check my post now.

edit:
In slack now, and beastie is showing, it must record what OS I was in when I posted, and not what is running at the time of just being in here?

I never really paid any atteti0n to this until this thread.

the slackware needs to go in front of the Linux like this

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Slackware Linux x86_64; rv:68.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/68.0.

"overridepreference" is not what you need to be tweaking in about:config.


Read THIS post and follow the directions in the "how-to" and it should work for you.

NOTE: pay attention to this part particularly:

And also NOTE: The new icon will ONLY appear on newly-created posts or existing posts that you edit. You might have to refresh the page a couple times occasionally to see the proper icon.

I hope that gets it working for you.

I must have got that variable name from somewhere in this thread. I couldn't have made it up! OK, I'll try again.
Right. This time that agent-reporting site gets it right (Mozilla/5.0 (X11;Slackware Linux x86_64; rv:68.4) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/68.4), which is encouraging. Let's see if LQ does. I've logged out and in again to clear my cookies as well as restarting FF.

Bounce!

Nope! Still get the penguin. This is getting ridiculous!

I see the Slackware icon in this post of yours.

It's working, Hazel. I see it.

Hey! What changed?

You did. Ain't it great?!

The page refreshed

Thank you all for your help. It may have been a trivial subject but I notice that it has run to three pages all the same.

Trying it myself now...

Oh crumbs.

Okay, that's a little better. I got the Slackware icon, but my penguin has a question mark? Meh, I'll take it.
