Re: the closing comment in browser-update/browser-update issue 397

In lieu of experimental string 'A',

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; FreeBSD amd64; rv:56.2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/56.2.0

I'm now using an experimental string 'A-01',

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; FreeBSD amd64; rv:56.2) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/56.2

From the opening post:

no hint that it's anything other than an outdated Mozilla Firefox.

tl;dr

Strings for Waterfox are now distinct from strings for Firefox 👍

The three strings that are primarily associated with Waterfox 56.2.3 (released yesterday):

• Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT x.y; Win64; x64; rv:56.0; Waterfox) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/56.2.3
• Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X x.y; rv:56.0; Waterfox) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/56.2.3
• Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:56.0; Waterfox) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/56.2.3

Please, are these suitable for whitelisting?

@SuperOP535 I did recently read the FAQ (thanks) but didn't want to repeat myself, #296 (comment) asks:

Is there a URL I can visit to more positively test?
