Mint Isadora 64-bit. I finally upgraded from 3.6 to the latest stable version in the Launchpad repo. I cannot install any addons now because addons.mozilla.com says I'm using 3.6. From the troubleshooting info, it seems my user agent still says 3.6. about:firefox says I'm using 6.0.1. How do I fix the user agent?

The article contained the fix, thanks. The user agent was custom, probably something Mint does with the Firefox they ship.

Another quick question: should I uninstall the Firefox Sync extension since the functionality is built-in now? Any risk of losing sync settings?
