Your browser isn't recognized as TenFourFox, but hey, welcome anyway!
Lately whenever I download a new version, and run it for the first time, when it goes to the "what's new" page "http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/start/en-US/firefox/31.4.0/whatsnew/from/31.3.0" (expected behavior), I get a banner across the page with a yellow background. It says "Your browser isn't recognized as TenFourFox, but hey, welcome anyway!" (screen shot attached.)
This is just an FYI, no serious glitch. Thanks for making TenFourFox available, I love it and use it on a daily basis. It's great to have a modern browser on my ancient Power Mac.
Before posting, I did search for the "isn't recognized as TenFourFox" string, but received no apparent hits. Please don't flame me if this is an old topic.

I'm not able to replicate this. Are you using an add-on that might be changing your user agent?

No, I am not using any add ons.
BUT, I was getting nagged to death by one of my financial sites a
while ago (about not having a compatible browser), and after
googling how to change Firefox's user agent, I did change it. The
user agent is now ";Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; PPC Mac OS X 10.4; rv:
31.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/31.0" which made my site happy.
My most profuse apologies to you, I had forgotten all about this.
I no doubt need to update the above user agent string.
Sheesh! I hate wasting people's time!

That'll do it :)
However, you're not the only one in that boat, and I'm considering adding a tweak in the browser that allows Floodgap to detect if your browser is TenFourFox without relying on the user agent. I don't think this would have substantial privacy implications, but since anyone could access that property, I need to consider how to implement it effectively. That's probably something that will be deferred to the next version.
Glad it works now. No reply necessary; I will close the ticket. If you have another concern related to this, any reply will automatically reopen the issue.
