Good day folks,
An annoying state of affairs has presented itself for my dear wife.

She's been using Firefox on MS Windows for many years, and recently a
couple of sites she uses will not work with firefox.

She's communicated with them and they say their sites have been tailored
to work with 'MS-Edge or Google Chrome for a smoother and better
experience for the users', and so she should use one of them.  :-(  (Crap).

I have a vague recollection there is a setting in About:config Preferences
to spoof/make Firefox appear to be another browser, like Edge.  :-(

Is there a setting I can use to fix this for her?

What might it be?

Thanks
D.
