Because FF57 disabled all legacy extensions, Random Agent Spoofer does not work anymore:
https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/random-agent-spoofer/

It is linked in the Browser Fingerprint section.

Are there any alternatives to this extension for FF57+?

uMatrix can, with some caveats, as it doesn't work with javascript enabled.

I'm okay with replacing it.

@Shifterovich thoughts?

RandomUA seems to change the user agent on every request, which is quite annoying. Random User-Agent had a lot of settings (like what User-Agents should it use, how often should it change the User-Agent, etc). If we can't find a good alternative I think we should wait for an update.
