I see it in your post above.

Thanks, vtel57. When I posted earlier (quick reply), I could only see a question mark. Refreshed… same. Closed FF, did some other browsing, came back to FF… same.

Now (on a phone) I can see the Slackware icon in my earlier post.

I guess the something else I need to change is my level of patience.

Something else for people to be concerned about.

Used ruario's script to update to FF 90.0.2, imported my old profile, see what happens...exciting lives us Slackers lead, eh?

Oh yeah!!! What a relief!

Testing...

Hi,

For those who would like to test user agent then look at; https://www.whatismybrowser.com/dete...-my-user-agent

Code:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:93.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/93.0 Slackware 15.0

I do use Firefox user agent addon and my user agent line is;

Code:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:93.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/93.0 Slackware 15.0

You can also set this via 'about:config and searching for 'general.useragent.override' then input your string such as;

Code:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:93.0.) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/93.0 Slackware Gnu/Linux

Hope this helps.

I use Firefox User-Agent Switcher and Manager Add-on.

Custom Mode with this:

Code:

{
  "www.linuxquestions.org": "${userAgent} Slackware"
}

Takes the default user agent and adds Slackware to it.

When I test here, it's PRIMARILY to make sure my Slackware icon appears in my posts.

vtel57 · 10-13-2021, 10:49 AM

Testing again...

bitfuzzy · 10-13-2021, 04:07 PM

vtel57 · 10-14-2021, 01:30 PM

Yup... really.

It's still there, but test it again if it makes you feel better. Ignore what the rest of us think.

Nah... it's OK. I'm done testing. It's Friday. Time to consume ethanol products and relax on the porch rocker.

I did this many years ago. In fact I am devoted Windows user. Windows forever.
