   OK, reloaded package manager, upgraded to 115.4.1 . This post from Mantic.   
      
   We'll see what this UserAgent looks like now.   
      
   Why would they change back ? They made the change   
   as part of Supernova or earlier, for some reason,   
   and I don't think the change was arbitrary or an   
   accident. There is no useragent override in about:config   
   showing right now.
