addons.mozilla.org sees wrong Firefox version, won't let me install add-ons
I am running Firefox Quantum version 57.0 64bit. When I go to addons.mozilla.org I often get the message "This add-on requires a newer version of Firefox (at least version 55.0). You are using Firefox 52.0.". I am NOT using Firefox 52.0, I am using Firefox 57.
This is particularly annoying because I specifically waited before upgrading until my add-ons would work with Firefox 57, and now I can't even install them!

Hi
Please can you:
- Type about:support into the address bar
- Copy text next to User Agent and paste it into a reply to this thread
This will help us to get to the bottom of what is happening.
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0
Okay, that seems to be why this is happening...
This is the data just above:
Version 57.0 Build ID 20171112125346
How can I correct the user agent?
