I have a browser with code using "selenium-webdriver". It works on Ubuntu.
I have to override userAgent so that it looks like the requests from the browser are coming from Windows (i.e. the value of the User-Agent request header ).
Here is my NodeJS code:
var firefox = require('selenium-webdriver/firefox');
var profile = new firefox.Profile();
profile.setPreference('general.useragent.override', 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/53.0.2785.143 Safari/537.36');
var options = new firefox.Options().setProfile(profile);
console.log(profile);
var driver = new firefox.Driver(options);
driver.get('http://whatsmyuseragent.com/');
Useragent that appears
Mozilla / 5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv: 49.0) Gecko / 20100101 Firefox / 49.0
This is console.log (profile); output (as you can see - 'general.useragent.override': 'Mozilla / 5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit / 537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome / 53.0.2785.143 Safari / 537.36' appears, but not 't affects browser settings):
