(vb.net) Why GeckoFX 31 buildID cannot be detected by sites?

I'm building a web browser in vb.net using geckofx 31 and xulrunner 31. I need web sites to think I am navigating with a regular Firefox 31. If I run http://browserspy.dk/showprop.php with a regular Firefox 31 it detects the buildID (should be 20140716183446), but when I run it on my GeckoFX31/XULRunner31 browser, buildID is null (blank). Do you have any suggestions how to make my GeckoFX31/XULRunner31 browser seem more like a regular Firefox 31? I do all this because I need to enhance functionality. Thanks!

Solution

  • You can change the buildID via the general.buildID.override setting.

    GeckoPreferences.Default("general.buildID.override") = "20140716183446"
