When I go to addons.mozilla.org I get the following error. "This add-on requires a newer version of Firefox (at least version 57.0). You are using Firefox 52.0." I have installed and am using firefox quantum v. 59.0.2 (64-bit) on Ubuntu 17.10.

What would make my version be reported/read wrong?

I've disabled all of my extensions and still have the same problem.

Hi,

Your system details show the wrong user agent - would you check this please :

Type in the address bar about:config (press Enter) (promise to be careful, if asked)

Type in the search bar and look for the prefenrence :

privacy.resistFingerprinting

And make sure that its value is set to false
