I recently found that my Credit Union's online bill pay service will not accept either firefox-esr or chromium-ungoogled. In order to use the bill pay service on my Slackware-15.0 laptop, I had to dredge up my scripts for repackaging google-chrome as a SlackBuild. I'm hoping to re-test after the next round of updates to both.

I determined that I can spoof the user-agent to trick the website.

First go to about:support and copy the "User Agent" string.

Then go to about:config add a new string general.useragent.override and paste in the User Agent string. Next, change "102.0" to "107.0" (2 occurrences).

After using the website delete general.useragent.override to avoid causing more problems :)

Currently I am forced to keep an older browser like earlier Firefox or current SeaMonkey working just for bank transactions. Thankfully Linux differentiates between words by letter case. "Firefox" isn't equivalent to "firefox" in Linux.

A user agent changer plug-in doesn't work?
