@VistaLover @Mathwiz thank you for your patience and understanding it is appreciated very much, must of had a mind block (which sometimes happens tales a while for somethings to sink in) overload of info, . the old saying can;t see woods for the trees . I literally unpicked everything and broke it down and went thru everythin bit by bit and low n behold it now works having general.useragent.override;Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:66.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/66.0 (as the main one) then general.useragent.override.instagram.com;Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:56.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/56.0 instagram now indeed works and not get broken i'm trying a few other websites that either sniff or breaks due to browser version being sent is wrong. . I can say creating a new (user set string) general.oscpu.override (Value) Windows NT 6.1 does indeed send your OS as (Window 7) instead of 5.1 (XP) going here http://useragentstring.com and herehttp://browserspy.dk/os.php I may play with these general.appname.override - (user set string) Netscape sends the name of browser general.appversion.override - (user set string) 5.0 (Windows) not sure general.buildID.override - (user set string) 0 browser build general.platform.override - (user set string) Win32 says wether is is 32 or 64 bit general.productSub.override - (user set string) 20100101 this says when the browser was built might have a further play to fool about:support to fool it i have latest stuff fool it it is a newer browser, and build, so 20130621 is 21st june what the others is unsure 064021 more so the OS version instead of telling me its Windows_ NT 5.1 instead 6.1 i would belive the build ID is when it was builr unless about support reads from the PC and not browser then a no go Once again thank you to all who helped get this in his skull Now this interesting https://www.whatismybrowser.com/guides/the-latest-version/firefox according to this there is Firefox Extended Support Release 60.6.1 yet I can't get my FF to update (which appears to be for Windows 7 (32 bit),Windows 7 (64 bit),Windows 8,windows 10,Mac OS X,Linux this is only a passing thought, I used to play with hex editors years ago changing a program say from a trial or shareware install to a full install or changing a program to say it was diffrent wonder it this is possible to do with FF fool they system you have a new version

Right I went right back to begining undoing what I did the config files and recreated the config-prefs.js and config files with correct script in each putting in correct folders made sure there was No double entries in the Prefs file restarted FF went to about :config it was clear, then tried to create a new string general.useragent.override.whatismybrowser.com; but this still came back and set as user set and not as default (as shown in someone else's image i did notice a few posts back there is this Components.utils.import('resource://gre/modules/UserAgentOverrides.jsm').UserAgentOverrides.init(); which is different to another post // needs to start with a comment line Components.utils.import("resource://gre/modules/Services.jsm"); Services.obs.addObserver(function (aSubject, aTopic, aData) { var chromeWindow = aSubject; chromeWindow.setTimeout(function () { Components.utils.import("resource://gre/modules/UserAgentOverrides.jsm", chromeWindow); chromeWindow.UserAgentOverrides.init(); }, 1000); }, "browser-delayed-startup-finished", false); so which of those 2 js is right I have done No other mods to prefs apart from the media and gmp strings/booloeans ot to make addons/extenrions appear I Did come across these -------------------------------------------------------------------- general.appname.override - (user set string) Netscape general.appversion.override - (user set string) 5.0 (Windows) general.buildID.override - (user set string) 0 general.oscpu.override - (user set string) Windows NT 6.1 "(Possible ro sppof your OS)" general.platform.override - (user set string) Win32 general.productSub.override = 20100101 general.appversion.override = 5.0 (Windows) general.oscpu.override = Windows NT 6.1 general.platform.override = Win32 general.buildID.override = 20100101 it appears these are hidden so will not appear in a search in about:config -------------------------------------------------------------------------- to further spoof I would presume this one general.oscpu.override - (user set string) Windows NT 6.1 will spoof your OS None of these are present in FF If you visit here http://browserspy.dk/ this site will reveal just how much sniffing there is and what can be seen by sites ================================================== On trying a new string general.oscpu.override;Windows NT 6.1 then going here http://browserspy.dk/os.php it does indeed spoof your OS version, tried it with and without and got 5.1 and 6.1

I musr still be missing something, as I followerd guide and created a file config-prefs.js with pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); pref("general.config.filename", "config.js"); and placed in the C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref then a config.js with // needs to start with a comment line Components.utils.import("resource://gre/modules/Services.jsm"); Services.obs.addObserver(function (aSubject, aTopic, aData) { var chromeWindow = aSubject; chromeWindow.setTimeout(function () { Components.utils.import("resource://gre/modules/UserAgentOverrides.jsm", chromeWindow); chromeWindow.UserAgentOverrides.init(); }, 1000); }, "browser-delayed-startup-finished", false); placed inside C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox But when i try to create a UA string it is still set as user set instead of default i tried putting useragent.override.whatismybrowser.com;Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv66.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/66.0 inside the file config-prefs.js but alto it appears in about:config straig away with out manually putting in, it still show as user set NOT as default I have checked for any "possible" mistakes I "may" have made I have made correct files in right places, have I missed something should any mods be made to C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\q65xjekw.default-1556195193171 there isn't any of other files mention in both my ff folders usually i am ok in picking up, but maybe a numpty here lol is ther ea sting or boolean I need to amend from true to false or vice verse to force from bevoming user set to default ?

I'm still not sure where to do the ssauo's is it in the about: config or in one of the config files i created and put in the relevant folders . if i have this set to general.useragent.override;Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:67.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/67.0 i can get to alot of sites but some if not a few get broken you cant reach unless its a lower version, i encountered this earlier regardless of browser version or OS verssion stated. if I do general.useragent.override;Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:53.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/53.0 i can get to most but odd one no go but if i if I do general.useragent.override;Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:53.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/53.0 in the main one then a new string as general.useragent.override.whatismybrowser;Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv66.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/66.0 still reportss as out of date then as another string so there is 2 i have a few general.useragent.override set to 67, can't figure this out i'm sure i followed guide properly doing the 2 txt files and put in right folders this what shows

how do you set the Status to default instead of user set in Firefox I;ve noticed if you have this general.useragent.override Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:66.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/66.0 it breaks this https://accounts.firefox.com/settings you can't get to it same as instagram but setting back to Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:53.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/53.0 you can get to your firefox settings account .if I set browser to 53 then do this general.useragent.override.whatismybrowser;Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:66.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/66.0 it still reports as out of date what am i doing wrong

is there a way around with FB vids, to view inline on newsfeed instead of some going to the expanded theatre mode and NOT play or do i see some seem to have sound, some not is this to do how it was encoded, frame or the css/js ??

@heinoganda In the mse antimalware folder i seem to have a file(s) called offreg.3416.dll in my other PC it is offreg.3068.dll C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Microsoft Antimalware\Definition Updates\{CF4ECBC1-A885-4A52-AE58-72C12130D7E9} what is this file I dare not delete is in case it is needed I noticed only 2 of 4 files actually have updated .... mpasdlta.vdm ... ....mpavdlta.vdm ..... I did use option 1 in the updater 1.7

@Dave-H they now all have a delete button, when i did a refresh, altho all the extentions and plugins was there, they wasn't installed correctly, when doing so the remove/delte icon appeared

Works for me fine, tried it as soon as I got it, then scan, left it for 2 days to let MSE complain it was 2 days ago updated fine thnx for this @heinoganda

damn I was hoping there just "might or maybe" a way of installin widevine cdm or have WMF reckonised i have got in FF browser already there media.decoder-doctor.notifications-allowed; string MediaWMFNeeded,MediaWidevineNoWMFNoSilverlight,MediaCannotInitializePulseAudio,MediaCannotPlayNoDecoders,MediaUnsupportedLibavcodec media.gmp-widevinecdm.enabled;true boolean media.gmp-widevinecdm.visible;true boolean all set to default i did try to initialise the webGL but no go, (unless this is for these 3d graphics cards) I did hope in some way there would be a round this thanks for clarifying this, so stuck with Primetime decryption going here https://www.youtube.com/html5 i got all the ticks in blue so have 264 html5 webm etc I have shockwave/flashplayer ,, shockwave for Director ,, silverlight ,, Windows Presentation Foundation ...Microsoft® DRM .. Windows Media Player Plug-in Dynamic Link Library ... OpenH264 Video Codec provided by Cisco Systems, Inc. as plugins can Directshow be used instead of WMF ???

what do I have to do now to create SSUAOs i have done the 2 config files and put in the default folder and Firefox directory

i tried doing a general.useragent.override.www.amazon.com with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:68.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/68/0 with all the the other mods i partially get to Amazon Music but get a white splash screen saying ....................................................... Playback Disabled Please enable playback settings for your browser. ......................................................... it seems Amaxon can still dig deeper into your browser/PC i'm sure I did get onto it once before also on prime video I getDigital Rights ErrorYour web browser is missing a digital rights component. In your web browser's address bar, type about:addons, press Enter, and then on the left, click Plugins. For the Widevine Content Decryption Module, select Always Activate, and then refresh the video's page and try watching the video. . is Primetime Decryption different to Widevine ?? yet I ve the Primetime decription activated and widevine in the folder yet it is a no go how do i get the widevine to appear in firefox addons and activated the version I have of widevine is 1.4..8.903 and 1.4.8.1008

that's briliant, I didn't spot mistake in override corrected and it works looks like I will have to forgo instagram (no great loss) ... tried followig your guide for SSUAOs Create the following text file pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); pref("general.config.filename", "config.js"); rename it to "config-prefs.js" (make sure no hidden .txt extension is present) and place it inside <FirefoxInstalDir>\defaults\pref\ (a file named "channel-prefs.js" should already be there by default) but I can't find in any of the firefox folders a file config-prefs.js or config.js where is the firefix install folder

i tried and did what you said this is what i have general.useragent.overide Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1;rv:53.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/53.0 ( is this format right ) but whatismybrowser still reports as 52 when I first did it, it worked ok, but doesnt seem to want to after a firefox reset i even tried doing Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:66.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/66.0 still does same whatismybrowser reports as 52 is there a space between ; and rv even going to exteme general.useragent.overide;Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1;rv:67.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/67.0 shows above

Can someone help me in about:addons of Firefox, I don't see a delete icon only a disable or change, yet it is there in my other PC FF browser is there something missing from the config can't upload a pic as it won't let me

I did gather that , I do use AdblockPlus with elementhiderhelper with loads of filters, yet it didn't seem to work on there

managed to get it on webproxy afte clicking download 2 or 3 times, it eventually served it up well tried the updater and it installed latest ide's ok

clicking on downlooad here I get a 403 error and the webproxy takes me else where and wnats me to update flash, which flashplayer is upto date how do we get to the file

can someone help I have this string ggeneral.useragent.overridepreference; Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:70.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/70.0 yet on what is my browser it says it is out ouf date, have I got it wrong i tried Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64;rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0 no go is there another change I need to make to make it report 53 or 54 it did seem to report ok upto date until I did a FF reset, now it doesn't this is what I have general.useragent.overide;Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:53.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/53. 0 general.useragent.overridepreference;Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0

I think I found the problem it doesn't like this string in the prefs so I reset it user_pref("general.useragent.override", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0"); this is a string not a boolean after doing a FF reset a few times add back in different prefs some had that string missing and I could get into Instagram, adding it in it refused to let me in, removing again back in I removed this and it let me back in

how do I do that please sure I never did that before

I'm getting same issue on this pc with FF 52.9.0, yet it loads ok on the other pc ok same settings I had this with youtube and after doing a ff reset and load all back in again it worked fine on youtube I did try clearing cookies, that was a no go

how long is it before MSE will complain IDE's are out of date before needing a update again could we say leave it 2-3 or even 4 days ?

hopefully we won't have to rely on the engine, if the update def files works and MSE scans ok and well

at least for now we have a work around for now. so it seems it "just maybe" it's the engine that is causing problems
