this is the browser/host info from a real windows10 system running upstream firefox:
  codeName=Mozilla
  appName=Netscape
  appVersion=5.0 (Windows)
  oscpu=Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64
  platform=Win32
  product=Gecko
  buildID=20181001000000
  userAgent=Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:88.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/88.0


here are two mutually-exclusive patches, one for each potential fix:

update spoofed user-agent to match firefox on windows10:

do not spoof user-agent at all (default generic "Linux <ARCH>"):
